Hello WiredTiger community,

we have been using MongoDB/WiredTiger engine for academic purposes (workflow management with fireworks, https://github.com/materialsproject/fireworks) for about two years. Our local computing center provides mass storage on Dell EMC Isilon devices only accessible via smb protocol. Thus, we had WiredTiger operate directly on the smb share, mounted with the standard cifs driver (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils) on an Ubuntu system. This setup works reliable and performant enough for our purposes.

Recently, administrational and security considerations made us move to a containerized solution (mongodb 4.2 in Ubuntu 18.04 container running via rootless podman 1.6.4 on CentOS 8). Initially, we aimed at mounting the underlying smb share purely in user space within the container, leaving the host entirely agnostic about the actual storage platform involved. That is not possible with cifs (requires suid for mounting), thus we tried out FUSE drivers gvfs  (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs) and smbnetfs (https://sourceforge.net/projects/smbnetfs/), both in connection with bindfs (https://bindfs.org/).

gvfs will cause WiredTiger to fail with

which I understand as referring to code lines https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger/blob/8de74488f2bb2b5cba0404c345f568a2f72478d3/src/os_posix/os_fs.c#L661-L667

WT_SYSCALL_RETRY(((pfh->fd = open(name, f, mode)) == -1 ? -1 : 0), ret); if (ret != 0) WT_ERR_MSG(session, ret, pfh->direct_io ? "%s: handle-open: open: failed with direct I/O configured, " "some filesystem types do not support direct I/O" : "%s: handle-open: open", name);

and I assume that gvfs does not fulfil certain posix standards expected by WiredTiger, but what exactly is missing here for compatibility?

With smbnetfs (in connection with bindfs), I had more success initially, and the conceptually working setup can be found at https://github.com/IMTEK-Simulation/mongod-on-smb/tree/smbnetfs (with
the particular mount options here https://github.com/IMTEK-Simulation/mongod-on-smb/blob/4ec17068bdadd33a0c3db9f1c10f8b156866c9bd/compose/local/mongodb/docker-entrypoint.sh#L51-L55 and here https://github.com/IMTEK-Simulation/mongod-on-smb/blob/4ec17068bdadd33a0c3db9f1c10f8b156866c9bd/compose/local/mongodb/docker-entrypoint.sh#L75-L78),
but apparently that configuration causes other difficulties:

This happened twice in the middle of restoring a ~100 GB database with the "mongorestore" utility. And it apparently destroys the database, at the next launch mongod would rename the previous files and start from scratch again. 
I assume some underlying issues within smbnetfs or bindfs
(geographically, storage platform and actual server machine probably stand within the same room, thus real connectivity issues are pretty unlikely and we never encountered any with the cifs setup).
Also here I would be happy for any ideas and interpretations, and I might point the smbnetfs (or bindfs) developers towards that issue.

Now, we resort to mounting the smb shares on the host system with cifs (as before) and forwarding them to the rootless container as volumes (master branch of https://github.com/IMTEK-Simulation/mongod-on-smb),
but since a reliable "mongodb on smb" setup is possible with cifs, why not an entirely rootless setup?

I am aware that the described issues lie within the underlying file system drivers and not within WiredTiger, but I would like to understand a bit more about why I get a working, reliable setup with cifs and two different issues with gvfs and smbnetfs.

Looking forward to any input and discussion.

Thanks!
