vfs_streams_depot8
Experimental module to store alternate data streams in a central directory.
Usage
vfs objects
=
streams_depot
Overview
This EXPERIMENTAL VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_streams_depot enables storing of NTFS alternate data streams in the file system. As a normal posix file system does not support the concept of multiple data streams per file, the streams_depot module stores the data in files in a separate directory.
Options
streams_depot:directory = PATH
Path of the directory where the alternate data streams should be stored. Defaults to the sharepath/.streams.
streams_depot:delete_lost = [ yes | no ]
In the case of an already existing data streams directory for a newly created file the streams directory will be renamed to "lost-%lu", random(). With this option lost stream directories will be removed instead of renamed.
• no(default) - rename lost streams to "lost-%lu", random().
• yes - remove lost streams.
Examples
[share] vfs objects = streams_depot
