NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = streams_depot

DESCRIPTION

       This EXPERIMENTAL VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The vfs_streams_depot enables storing of NTFS alternate data streams in the file system.
       As a normal posix file system does not support the concept of multiple data streams per
       file, the streams_depot module stores the data in files in a separate directory.

OPTIONS

       streams_depot:directory = PATH
           Path of the directory where the alternate data streams should be stored. Defaults to
           the sharepath/.streams.

       streams_depot:delete_lost = [ yes | no ]
           In the case of an already existing data streams directory for a newly created file the
           streams directory will be renamed to "lost-%lu", random(). With this option lost
           stream directories will be removed instead of renamed.

                  •   no(default) - rename lost streams to "lost-%lu", random().

                  •   yes - remove lost streams.

EXAMPLES

                   [share]
                vfs objects = streams_depot
