I'm pretty sure nobody works on anything Samba or NFS related in storaged.
To me, it seems like "inside the box" storage configation and "export
methods and permissions" are conceptually separate. I think for the NAS
idea, this could be fairly opinionated (allowing us, among other
things, to get SELinux right). One half would be "Configure storage
however you want to get a volume mounted at /srv/fedora-nas" (Or
whatever we select), and the other half would be "export subdirectories
of /srv/fedora-nas via your choice of tech".
demanded feature. However Samba is much more than just a file
sharing
service and I'm not sure we would be able to simply isolate that one
piece from it. So we may need special APIs for Samba for example. NFS
server and iSCSI target might be simpler but again: it's more
services configuration than storage.
I think we _should_ isolate just that point. Samba installed for the
Fedora Server NAS role should _only_ do that. You want some other
functionality or configuration, run a different Samba.
