34 <para>The <command>vfs_streams_depot</command> enables storing of NTFS
35 alternate data streams in the file system. As a normal posix file
36 system does not support the concept of multiple data streams per file,

48 <term>streams_depot:directory = PATH</term>
50 <para>Path of the directory where the alternate data streams
51 should be stored. Defaults to the sharepath/.streams.</para>
56 <term>streams_depot:delete_lost = [ yes | no ]</term>
58 <para>In the case of an already existing data streams directory
59 for a newly created file the streams directory will be renamed
60 to "lost-%lu", random(). With this option lost stream directories
61 will be removed instead of renamed.</para>
