snapper.so not included into samba-vfs-modules

[[e-mail]]

Hi,

the snapper.so vfs module is still not included into samba-vfs-module. This module is useful to manage btrfs snapshot via snapper utility.

Best regards,

luigi

Please compile samba with dbus support (you need to add libdbus-1-dev package to enable this).

best regards,

luigi

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

BTW you are shipping the man page but not the module

Any news? When will this be done?

Hi Etienne and DocMax,
the recently proposed patch [1] seems fine to me - no component mismatch at least.

Yet for essentially feature enablement we'd prefer to add no Delta to Debian. So this will likely be picked up on the merge after Debian integrated the change.

Also there you said "works perfectly fine, Version is 4.3.6+dfsg-1".
Does that mean it is fixed since 4.3.6? I checked this and various other newer versions but didn't see a snapper.so in any of them yet.

When can i expect the fix to be in ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

DocMax,

Thanks for the question. Could respond to paelzer's query in #6 as it would help clarify if/how this is necessary for samba in Xenial.

Thanks!
