I don't have samba experiences. Isn't the installation and administration of a samba server just for one "share" overkill? Thu, 13 Feb 2020 09:36:31 +0100 "Marc Roos" <M.Roos@f1-outsourcing.eu> ==> ceph-users <ceph-users@ceph.io>, taeuber <taeuber@bbaw.de> :
Via smb, much discussed here

Hi there!
I got the task to connect a Windows client to our existing ceph cluster. I'm looking for experiences or suggestions from the community. There came two possibilities to my mind: 1. iSCSI Target on RBD exported to Windows 2. NFS-Ganesha on CephFS exported to Windows
Is there a third way exporting a ceph cluster to a windows machine?
I have some experiences with CephFS. We have a small cluster successfully running for linux clients. I don't have experiences with RBD or iSCSI.
The Windows machine will use the space for backups. The kind of data is unknown. I expect the data to be a MS-SQL dump and user data from a sharepoint system. The Windows admin does not care whether NFS or iSCSI is used.
I'd be happy if some of you could share experiences.
Thanks Lars _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
