| 32 | <para>The <command>gpfs</command> VFS module is the home
|
|---|
| 33 | for all gpfs extensions that Samba requires for proper integration
|
|---|
| 34 | with GPFS. It uses the GPL library interfaces provided by GPFS.
|
|---|
| 35 | </para>
|

| 45 | <para><command>NOTE:</command>This module follows the posix-acl behaviour
|
|---|
| 46 | and hence allows permission stealing via chown. Samba might allow at a later
|
|---|
| 47 | point in time, to restrict the chown via this module as such restrictions
|
|---|
| 48 | are the responsibility of the underlying filesystem than of Samba.
