NAME

6       vfs_streams_depot - EXPERIMENTAL module to store alternate data streams
7       in a central directory.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       vfs objects = streams_depot
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This EXPERIMENTAL VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
14
15       The vfs_streams_depot enables storing of NTFS alternate data streams in
16       the file system. As a normal posix file system does not support the
17       concept of multiple data streams per file, the streams_depot module
18       stores the data in files in a separate directory.
19

OPTIONS

21       streams_depot:directory = PATH
22           Path of the directory where the alternate data streams should be
23           stored. Defaults to the sharepath/.streams.
24
25       streams_depot:delete_lost = [ yes | no ]
26           In the case of an already existing data streams directory for a
27           newly created file the streams directory will be renamed to
28           "lost-%lu", random(). With this option lost stream directories will
29           be removed instead of renamed.
30
31                  ·   no(default) - rename lost streams to "lost-%lu",
32                      random().
33
34                  ·   yes - remove lost streams.
