Using SMB Home Shares
The FluidFS cluster enables you to create a share for a user that is limited to that user. For example, when a user "jsmith" connects
to the FluidFS cluster, jsmith will be presented with any available general shares, as well as a share labeled "jsmith" that is visible only
to jsmith.
