In addition certain file system types are inherently incompatible, notably FAT and exFAT because they don't support xattr at all. They say 'streams_xattr' must be loaded, but later in the doc they talk about options that are incompatible with this. All other named streams are deferred to vfs_streams_xattr which must be loaded together with vfs_fruit. The module enables alternate data streams (ADS) support for a share, intercepts the OS X special streams 'AFP_AfpInfo' and 'AFP_Resource' and handles them in a special way. Note: we actually have per-share hidden settings for enabling 'fruit', however from the documentation we read: This will tell Unraid OS to include the contents of the nf file in each share (except for the 'flash' share, see below). Thus a good staring point would be to:Ĭp /etc/samba/nf /boot/configĪnd now you can make changes to /boot/config/nfĪfter making a change you can type this command to to restart Samba:įor any of this to be applied, you first need to ensure that 'Settings/SMB/Enhanced macOS interoperability' is set to Yes. In addition, you may create the file /boot/config/nf on your flash device and when Samba starts or is restarted, those options will override the options in /etc/samba/nf. Again all options are listed there and only the ones which deviate from default are uncommented. These are set in /etc/samba/nf file on your server. I don't think we will need to change these options but if you want to experiment then add your changes to /boot/config/nf file. All the options are listed near the bottom, and ones which vary from the default setting are uncommented.

The global options are set in /etc/samba/smb.conf file on your server. Please refer to the Samba 'vfs_fruit' doc:įirst you will notice there are Global options and Per-Share options. This mainly involves tuning the so-called 'fruit' SMB parameters.

Starting with 6.11.0-rc5 we have added some features to help us figure out the proper mix of SMB settings which will achieve the best performance/functionality with MacOS.
