1 <samba:parameter name="dmapi support"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
6 <para>This parameter specifies whether Samba should use DMAPI to
7 determine whether a file is offline or not. This would typically
8 be used in conjunction with a hierarchical storage system that
9 automatically migrates files to tape.
12 <para>Note that Samba infers the status of a file by examining the
13 events that a DMAPI application has registered interest in. This
14 heuristic is satisfactory for a number of hierarchical storage
15 systems, but there may be system for which it will fail. In this
16 case, Samba may erroneously report files to be offline.
19 <para>This parameter is only available if a supported DMAPI
20 implementation was found at compilation time. It will only be used
21 if DMAPI is found to enabled on the system at run time.
27 <value type="default">no</value>
