VFSNETATALK(8) VFSNETATALK(8)

NAME
       vfsnetatalk - hide .AppleDouble files from CIFS clients

SYNOPSIS
       vfs objects = netatalk

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

       The  vfsnetatalk VFS module dynamically hides .AppleDouble files, pre-
       venting spurious errors on some CIFS clients. .AppleDouble files may be
       created  by  historic implementations of AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) on
       servers.

       This module is stackable.

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       Hide .AppleDouble files on the [data] share:


               [data]
            vfs objects = netatalk


CCAAVVEEAATTSS
       This module is largely historic and unlikely to be  of  use  in  modern
       networks  since  current  Apple  systems  are able to mount CIFS shares
       natively.

       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
