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.

34 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
35 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
