NAME

6       vfs_worm - disallows writes for older file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       vfs objects = worm
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
13
14       The vfs_worm module controls the writability of files and folders
15       depending on their change time and a adjustable grace period.
16
17       If the change time of a file or directory is older than the specified
18       grace period, the write access will be denied, independent of further
19       access controls (e.g. by the filesystem).
20
21       In the case that the grace period is not exceed, the worm module will
22       not impact any access controls.
23

OPTIONS

25       worm:grace_period = SECONDS
26           Period in seconds which defines the time how long the write access
27           should be handled by the normal access controls. After this grace
28           period the file or directory becomes read only.
29

EXAMPLES

31       Deny the write access to files and folders, which are older than five
32       minutes (300 seconds):
33
34                [wormshare]
35                vfs objects = worm
36                worm:grace_period = 300
