.SH "NAME"
vfs_streams_depot \- EXPERIMENTAL module to store alternate data streams in a central directory\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = streams_depot
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This
\fIEXPERIMENTAL\fR
VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
streams_depot:directory = PATH
.RS 4
Path of the directory where the alternate data streams should be stored\&. Defaults to the sharepath/\&.streams\&.
.RE
.PP
streams_depot:delete_lost = [ yes | no ]
.RS 4
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\&.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
