Tuesday Tech Tip - 5 Best Practices when Using CephFS and Samba

Every second Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.

This week's tech tip was inspired by a popular thread on the Ceph mailing list.

At 45Drives, we have been using Samba and CephFS for a while and have learned some tips and tricks over the years to improve your administrative workflow. In this week's video, Brett is back to give you his 5 best practices when using CephFS and Samba.
