Hi all, Back in 2002 I opened a discussion on the samba-technical mailing list regarding the WinNT FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE ( http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2002-April/020969.html).
Meanwhile some FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE handling was implemented in the 'trunk' Samba. Currently (Samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4) provides the 'dmapi support' option for representing the mentioned attribute. Unfortunately it seems the option is supported only on XFS using the libdm0. Additionally it seems only SUSE / SLES ships with the mentioned support built into Samba. Well ... I'm again interested in the mentioned option and I'm wondering if there is a way to say 'add the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE flag' for all files in the specified share. Of course it would be even better if I could implement a utility / dmapi interface / or something else Samba could use to figure out which files I would like to mark as offline on the HSM file system I'm using or any other kernel / FUSE / ... file system. I know it is not a big deal changing the Samba code; however, I would really like avoiding building a custom Samba package for every machine our HSM product is running on. Thanks in advance and best regards, Damir Dezeljin PS: Let me know if you think it would be better to re-post the question on samba-technical. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
