This talk will cover two new clustering features under development for Samba:
Persistent Handles and the Witness service. Alongside a scale-out filesystem
such as CephFS, both features can be combined to provide transparent client
failover and automatic load balancing.
The presentation will finish with a recap of ongoing and outstanding
clustered Samba tasks, focusing in particular on CephFS integration.
This talk is intended for developers and users familiar with Samba.
