VFS_STREAMS_DEPOT(8) System Administration tools VFS_STREAMS_DEPOT(8)

NAME

vfs_streams_depot - EXPERIMENTAL module to store alternate data streams in a central directory.

SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = streams_depot

DESCRIPTION

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.

EXAMPLES


[share] vfs objects = streams_depot
