Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install samba-vfs-modules on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is samba-vfs-modules
samba-vfs-modules is:
Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems. Samba can also function as a domain controller or member server in both NT4-style and Active Directory domains.
Virtual FileSystem modules are stacked shared libraries extending the functionality of Samba. Some examples are:
- vfs_acl_xattr: Save NTFS-ACLs in Extended Attributes
- vfs_audit: record selected Samba VFS operations in the system log
- vfs_readonly: Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
- vfs_recycle: Give the same effect as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers
- vfs_shadow_copy2: Expose snapshots to Windows clients as shadow copies
- vfs_worm: Disallow writes for older file
Note: The runtime dependencies of vfs_ceph and vfs_snapper are moved to Recommends. Task: samba-server
