+<description>
+ <para>This parameter specifies whether Samba should use DMAPI to
+ determine whether a file is offline or not. This would typically
+ be used in conjunction with a hierarchical storage system that
+ automatically migrates files to tape.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Note that Samba infers the status of a file by examining the
+ events that a DMAPI application has registered interest in. This
+ heuristic is satisfactory for a number of hierarchical storage
+ systems, but there may be system for which it will fail. In this
+ case, Samba may erroneously report files to be offline.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>This parameter is only available if a supported DMAPI
+ implementation was found at compilation time. It will only be used
+ if DMAPI is found to enabled on the system at run time.
