NAME
       vfs_streams_xattr - Store alternate data streams in posix xattrs

SYNOPSIS
       vfs objects = streams_xattr

DESCRIPTION
       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_streams_xattr 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_xattr module
       stores the data in posix extended attributes (xattrs). The name of
       these attributes is user.DosStream."ADS-NAME".

       The file system that is shared with this module enabled must support
       xattrs.

       Please note that most file systems have severe limitations on the size
       of xattrs. So this module might work for applications like IE that
       stores small zone information in streams but will fail for applications
       that store serious amounts of data in ADSs.
