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.
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.
