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.

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

	   o   yes - remove lost streams.

EXAMPLES

		   [share]
		vfs objects = streams_depot

NAME

       vfs_prealloc - preallocate matching files to a predetermined size

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = prealloc

DESCRIPTION

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

       The vfs_prealloc VFS module preallocates files to a specified size each time a new file is created. This is useful in environments where
       files are of a predetermined size will be written to a disk subsystem where extending file allocations is expensive.

       This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

       prealloc:EXT = BYTES
	   Preallocate all files with the extension EXT to the size specified by BYTES.

	   The following suffixes may be applied to BYTES:

	   o   K - BYTES is a number of kilobytes

	   o   M - BYTES is a number of megabytes

	   o   G - BYTES is a number of gigabytes

EXAMPLES

       A process writes TIFF files to a Samba share, and the is known these files will almost always be around 4 megabytes (4194304 bytes):

		   [frames]
		path = /data/frames
		vfs objects = prealloc
		prealloc:tiff = 4M

CAVEATS

       vfs_prealloc is not supported on all platforms and filesystems. Currently only XFS filesystems on Linux and IRIX are supported.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
