This is the base of the new NTVFS subsystem for Samba. The model for
|
||
|
|
NTVFS backends is quite different than for the older style VFS
|
||
|
|
backends, in particular:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the NTVFS backends receive windows style file names, although they
|
||
|
|
are in the unix charset (usually UTF8). This means the backend is
|
||
|
|
responsible for mapping windows filename conventions to unix
|
||
|
|
filename conventions if necessary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the NTVFS backends are responsible for changing effective UID before
|
||
|
|
calling any OS local filesystem operations (if needed). The
|
||
|
|
become_*() functions are provided to make this easier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the NTVFS backends are responsible for resolving DFS paths
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- each NTVFS backend handles either disk, printer or IPC$ shares,
|
||
|
|
rather than one backend handling all types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the entry points of the NTVFS backends correspond closely with basic
|
||
|
|
SMB operations, wheres the old VFS was modelled directly on the
|
||
|
|
POSIX filesystem interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the NTVFS backends are responsible for all semantic mappings, such
|
||
|
|
as mapping dos file attributes, ACLs, file ownership and file times
