In this talk, we delve into the integration of snapshots as shadow copies within CephFS, emphasizing their utilization and management from a Windows client perspective through Samba. The focus will be on the vfs_ceph_snapshots module, which facilitates the seamless presentation of CephFS snapshots as volume shadow copies to Windows clients. This capability is effective both in environments using kernel mounts and those employing the ceph VFS module, offering a flexible approach to snapshot management. We will conduct practical demonstrations to showcase the process of creating, accessing, and restoring these snapshots, while also evaluating the observations made. Furthermore, the presentation will outline future plans aimed at enhancing the reliability and versatility of this functionality, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of users.
I work for the CephFS Engineering team at IBM, where I focus on SMB integration with CephFS. I also maintain the Geo-Replication component of GlusterFS.
