Postexec script<br />

VFS Objects<br />

Virtual File System (VFS) modules are used in Samba for performing actions before an ac-<br />

cess to the file system of a share is made. A VFS module can be, for example, an<br />

anti-virus software which moves each infected file that is accessed within the share, to a<br />

quarantine area. VFS modules are documented in the official Samba HOWTO manual at<br />

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html.<br />

MSDFS Root<br />

A distributed file system makes it possible to map shares spanning several servers and paths to a<br />

virtual directory hierarchy. This mechanism can be utilised for distributing loads to several servers, or<br />

to outsource storage locations. It also represents an improved method for mapping logical structures.<br />

MSDFS means Microsoft Distributed File System, and represents the implementation of a distributed<br />

file system.<br />

Setting the MSDFS Root option indicates that the shared directory is a share which can be used for<br />

the MSDFS. References to other shares are only displayed in such an MSDFS root, elsewhere they<br />

are hidden.<br />

To be able to utilise the functions of a distributed file system, the <strong>Univention</strong> Configuration Registry<br />

variable samba/enable-msdfs has to be set to yes. Afterwards Samba has to be restarted.<br />

For creating a reference from server sa within the share fa to share fb on the server sb, the following<br />

command has to be executed in directory fa:<br />

ln -s msdfs:sb\\fb zufb<br />
