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.

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.

+o no(default) - rename lost streams to "lost-%lu",
random().

+o yes - remove lost streams.
