1 <samba:parameter name="dmapi support"

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