- <a class="citerefentry" href="samba.7.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">samba</span>(7)</span></a> suite.</p><p>The <code class="literal">gpfs</code> VFS module is the home
- for all gpfs extensions that Samba requires for proper integration
- with GPFS. It uses the GPL library interfaces provided by GPFS.
- </p><p>Currently the gpfs vfs module provides extensions in following areas :
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>NFSv4 ACL Interfaces with configurable options for GPFS</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Kernel oplock support on GPFS</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Lease support on GPFS</p></li></ul></div><p>
- </p><p><code class="literal">NOTE:</code>This module follows the posix-acl behaviour
- and hence allows permission stealing via chown. Samba might allow at a later
- point in time, to restrict the chown via this module as such restrictions
- are the responsibility of the underlying filesystem than of Samba.
- </p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="OPTIONS"><a name="id266858"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">gpfs:sharemodes = [ yes | no ]</span></dt><dd><p>

- options to the same value.

- Enable/Disable usage of the <code class="literal">gpfs_get_realfilename_path()</code> function.
- This improves the casesensitive wildcard file name access.
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>

- </p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">gpfs:winattr = [ yes | no ]</span></dt><dd><p>
- Enable/Disable usage of the windows attributes in GPFS.
- GPFS is able to store windows file attributes e.g. HIDDEN,
- READONLY, SYSTEM and others natively. That means Samba doesn't
- need to map them to permission bits or extended attributes.
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- <code class="literal">no(default)</code> - do not use GPFS windows attributes.

- GPFS ACLs doesn't know about the 'APPEND' right.

- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- <code class="literal">yes(default)</code> - map 'APPEND' to 'WRITE'.

- </p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">gpfs:refuse_dacl_protected = [ yes | no ]</span></dt><dd><p>
- As GPFS does not support the ACE4_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE NFSv4 flag (which would be
- the mapping for the DESC_DACL_PROTECTED flag), the status of this flag is
- currently silently ignored by Samba. That means that if you deselect the "Allow
- inheritable permissions..." checkbox in Windows' ACL dialog and then apply the
- ACL, the flag will be back immediately.
- </p><p>
- To make sure that automatic migration with e.g. robocopy does not lead to
- ACLs silently (and unintentionally) changed, you can set
- <code class="literal">gpfs:refuse_dacl_protected = yes</code> to enable an explicit
- check for this flag and if set, it will return NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED so
- errors are shown up on the Windows side and the Administrator is aware of
- the ACLs not being settable like intended
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
- <code class="literal">no(default)</code> - ignore the DESC_DACL_PROTECTED flags.
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- <code class="literal">yes</code> - reject ACLs with DESC_DACL_PROTECTED.
- </p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">nfs4:mode = [ simple | special ]</span></dt><dd><p>
- Enable/Disable substitution of special IDs on GPFS. This parameter
- should not affect the windows users in anyway. It only ensures that Samba
- sets the special IDs - OWNER@ and GROUP@ ( mappings to simple uids )
- that are relevant to GPFS.
- </p><p>The following MODEs are understood by the module:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">simple(default)</code> - do not use special IDs in GPFS ACEs</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">special</code> - use special IDs in GPFS ACEs. </p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">nfs4:acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge]</span></dt><dd><p>
- This parameter configures how Samba handles duplicate ACEs encountered in GPFS ACLs.
- GPFS allows/creates duplicate ACE for different bits for same ID.
- </p><p>Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">dontcare (default)</code> - copy the ACEs as they come</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">reject</code> - stop operation and exit with error on ACL set op</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">ignore</code> - don't include the second matching ACE</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">merge</code> - bitwise OR the 2 ace.flag fields and 2 ace.mask fields of the 2 duplicate ACEs into 1 ACE</p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">nfs4:chown = [yes|no]</span></dt><dd><p>This parameter allows enabling or disabling the chown supported
- by the underlying filesystem. This parameter should be enabled with
- care as it might leave your system insecure.</p><p>Some filesystems allow chown as a) giving b) stealing. It is the latter
- that is considered a risk.</p><p>Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values : </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">yes</code> - Enable chown if as supported by the under filesystem</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">no (default)</code> - Disable chown</p></li></ul></div></dd><dt><span class="term">gpfs:syncio = [yes|no]</span></dt><dd><p>This parameter makes Samba open all files with O_SYNC.
- This triggers optimizations in GPFS for workloads that
- heavily share files.</p><p>Following is the behaviour of Samba for different
- values:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">yes</code>Open files with O_SYNC
- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">no (default)</code>Open files as

- Depending on the version of gpfs, the <code class="literal">libgpfs_gpl</code>
- library or the <code class="literal">libgpfs</code> library is needed at
- runtime by the <code class="literal">gpfs</code> VFS module:
- Starting with gpfs 3.2.1 PTF8, the complete <code class="literal">libgpfs</code>
- is available as open source and <code class="literal">libgpfs_gpl</code> does no
- longer exist. With earlier versions of gpfs, only the
- <code class="literal">libgpfs_gpl</code> library was open source and could be
- used at run time.
- </p><p>
- At build time, only the header file <code class="literal">gpfs_gpl.h</code>
- is required , which is a symlink to <code class="literal">gpfs.h</code> in
- gpfs versions newer than 3.2.1 PTF8.
