NAME

6       vfs_offline - Mark all files as offline
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = offline
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The vfs_offline module marks all files in the share as having the
15       offline DOS attribute.
16
17       Files with the offline DOS attribute are handled differently by the
18       Windows SMB client, as well as by Windows Explorer. In particular,
19       Windows Explorer does not read those files for the sole purpose of
20       drawing a thumbnail, as it normally does. This can improve user
21       experience with some remote file systems.
