Re: NTFS and alternate data streams

How exactly is it telling you that the remote volume is NTFS?

Yes -- we're using Samba to access Solaris file services from Windows. After some thrashing around Google, it looks like ADS support only exists in experimental branches of Samba 3, but is something they have (or at least had at one time) on the list for Samba 4. But as to why the service reports NTFS, if indeed ADS is actually required for NTFS compliance, I don't know.

Thanks.


I'm not quite understanding: are you accessing a drive on a Unix box
via Samba? In that case the drive being accessed is probably using
UFS, which wouldn't have ADS. But then why is it telling you that it's
NTFS? Maybe that's a Samba thing.
