20This VFS module is part of the
21\fBsamba\fR(7)
22suite\.
23.PP
24The
25gpfs
26VFS 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\.
27.PP
28Currently the gpfs vfs module provides extensions in following areas :

62.RE
63.PP
64NOTE: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\.
65.PP
66This module is stackable\.
67.SH "OPTIONS"
68.PP
69nfs4:mode = [ simple | special ]
70.RS 4
71Enable/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\.
72.sp
73The following MODEs are understood by the module:
74.sp
75.RS 4
76.ie n \{\
77\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
78.\}
79.el \{\
80.sp -1
81.IP \(bu 2.3
82.\}
83simple(default)
84\- do not use special IDs in GPFS ACEs

90.\}
91.el \{\

100.PP
101nfs4:acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge]
102.RS 4
103This parameter configures how Samba handles duplicate ACEs encountered in GPFS ACLs\. GPFS allows/creates duplicate ACE for different bits for same ID\.
104.sp
105Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :
106.sp
107.RS 4
108.ie n \{\
109\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
110.\}
111.el \{\
112.sp -1
113.IP \(bu 2.3
114.\}
115dontcare (default)
116\- copy the ACEs as they come

122.\}
123.el \{\
124.sp -1
125.IP \(bu 2.3

147.el \{\
148.sp -1
149.IP \(bu 2.3

151merge

156.PP
157nfs4:chown = [yes|no]
158.RS 4
159This 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\.
160.sp
161Some filesystems allow chown as a) giving b) stealing\. It is the latter that is considered a risk\.
162.sp
163Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :

205The gpfs gpl libraries are required by

213The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\.
214.PP
215The GPFS VFS module was created with contributions from Volker Lendecke and the developers at IBM\.
216.PP
217This manpage was created by the IBM FSCC team
