28 <para>This VFS module is part of the
29 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>

32 <para>The <command>vfs_offline</command> module marks all files
33 in the share as having the offline DOS attribute.</para>
35 <para>Files with the offline DOS attribute are handled differently
36 by the Windows SMB client, as well as by Windows Explorer. In
37 particular, Windows Explorer does not read those files for the sole
38 purpose of drawing a thumbnail, as it normally does. This can
39 improve user experience with some remote file systems.</para>
