| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | <para>The <command>vfs_streams_xattr</command> enables storing of NTFS
|
|---|
| 33 | alternate data streams in the file system. As a normal posix file
|
|---|
| 34 | system does not support the concept of multiple data streams per file,
|
|---|
| 35 | the streams_xattr module stores the data in posix extended attributes
|
|---|
| 36 | (xattrs). The name of these attributes is
|
|---|
| 37 | user.DosStream."ADS-NAME".</para>
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | <para>The file system that is shared with this module enabled must
|
|---|
| 40 | support xattrs.</para>
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <para>Please note that most file systems have severe limitations on
|
|---|
| 43 | the size of xattrs. So this module might work for applications like IE
|
|---|
| 44 | that stores small zone information in streams but will fail for
|
|---|
| 45 | applications that store serious amounts of data in ADSs.</para>
