	The smb.conf file can be edited to include custom share entries. Note that any share with a path entry containing /mnt/storage-pools or /mnt/gluster-volumes will be managed by QuantaStor and may be removed automatically. Hence all custom SMB share entries must not use that in the 'path' specifier. To access a sub-path of an existing network share be sure to reference it under its bind point which is under /export/SHARENAME.		The smb.conf file can be edited to include custom share entries. Note that any share with a path entry containing /mnt/storage-pools or /mnt/gluster-volumes will be managed by QuantaStor and may be removed automatically. Hence all custom SMB share entries must not use that in the 'path' specifier. To access a sub-path of an existing network share be sure to reference it under its bind point which is under /export/SHARENAME.

			An example of adding a custom CIFS share definition for a custom sub-share called 'customshare' running on a Gluster Volume called 'gvol1' is detailed below:

			First Make the custom directory you are looking to export:

			<pre>
			mkdir /export/gvol1/customshare
			</pre>

			Second, add an entry such as the example below to the bottom of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file using nano or vim, this example entry will create a basic CIFS share for admin access by a local samba user called 'localadmin':

			<pre>
			[customshare]
			admin users = localadmin
			valid users = localadmin
			browseable = yes
			create mask = 0755
			directory mask = 0755
			hide unreadable = no
			hide unwriteable files = no
			path = /export/gvol1/customshare
			public = no
			writable = yes

			</pre>

			Finally, restart the CIFS Samba service using the command below to have the 'customshare' defined above made available via CIFS/SMB. Starting with QuantaStor 4.0 we provide both a Samba 3.x and Samba 4.x release, we have provided the restart commands for each below:

			For Samba 3.x:
			<pre>
			sudo smbd restart
			sudo nmbd restart
			sudo service winbind restart
			</pre>

			For Samba 4.x:
			<pre>
			sudo service sernet-samba-smbd restart
			sudo service sernet-samba-nmbd restart
			sudo service sernet-samba-winbindd restart
			</pre>
