When set, DOS + attributes will be stored onto an extended attribute in the UNIX filesystem, associated with the file or + directory. When this parameter is set it will override the parameters <smbconfoption name="map hidden"/>, + <smbconfoption name="map system"/>, <smbconfoption name="map archive"/> and <smbconfoption name="map + readonly"/> and they will behave as if they were set to off. This parameter writes the DOS attributes as a string into the extended + attribute named "user.DOSATTRIB". This extended attribute is explicitly hidden from smbd clients requesting an + EA list. On Linux the filesystem must have been mounted with the mount option user_xattr in order for + extended attributes to work, also extended attributes must be compiled into the Linux kernel. + + In Samba 3.5.0 and above the "user.DOSATTRIB" extended attribute has been extended to store + the create time for a file as well as the DOS attributes. This is done in a backwards compatible + way so files created by Samba 3.5.0 and above can still have the DOS attribute read from this + extended attribute by earlier versions of Samba, but they will not be able to read the create + time stored there. Storing the create time separately from the normal filesystem meta-data + allows Samba to faithfully reproduce NTFS semantics on top of a POSIX filesystem. + + The default has changed to yes in Samba release 4.9.0 and above to allow better Windows + fileserver compatibility in a default install. + </para> +</description> +<value type="default">yes</value> +</samba:parameter> |
