Greyhole uses Samba to create a storage pool of all your available hard drives, and allows you to create redundant copies of the files you store.

Bugfix: VFS module for Samba 4.13 should be compiled with the most recent available minor version of Samba; building using 4.13.0 creates a dependency on a shared library that is not available without compiling (libsmbd-conn-samba4.so); also recompile VFS for 4.15, 4.14 & 4.12 with the latest minor versions of those too, just in case. Fixes #298
Fix for build_vfs with Samba 4.11; also applied fix from 021a4cbd on VFS module for Samba 4.11

Bugfix: open and mkdir tasks logged by VFS modules were not including the full path to the file or folder, causing empty directories being created in the storage pool drives' shares' root, instead of in the proper subfolder eg. mkdir /mnt/samba/ShareName/Folder/SubFolder resulted in empty folders created as /path/to/storage/pool/drive*/ShareName/SubFolder
Improved build_vfs script; fixed typo in comment
Bugfix: VFS module for Samba 4.15 only logged basename (instead of full path) for rename (mv), (sym)link, delete (unlink) and rmdir Fixes #297
