NAME

6       vfs_netatalk - hide .AppleDouble files from CIFS clients
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = netatalk
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The vfs_netatalk VFS module dynamically hides .AppleDouble files,
15       preventing spurious errors on some CIFS clients. .AppleDouble files may
16       be created by historic implementations of AFP (Apple Filing Protocol)
17       on servers.
18
19       This module is stackable.
20

EXAMPLES

22       Hide .AppleDouble files on the [data] share:
23
24                   [data]
25                vfs objects = netatalk
26

CAVEATS

28       This module is largely historic and unlikely to be of use in modern
29       networks since current Apple systems are able to mount CIFS shares
30       natively.
