NAME

6       vfs_streams_xattr - Store alternate data streams in posix xattrs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = streams_xattr
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The vfs_streams_xattr enables storing of NTFS alternate data streams in
15       the file system. As a normal posix file system does not support the
16       concept of multiple data streams per file, the streams_xattr module
17       stores the data in posix extended attributes (xattrs). The name of
18       these attributes is user.DosStream."ADS-NAME".
19
20       The file system that is shared with this module enabled must support
21       xattrs.
22
23       Please note that most file systems have severe limitations on the size
24       of xattrs. So this module might work for applications like IE that
25       stores small zone information in streams but will fail for applications
26       that store serious amounts of data in ADSs.
