+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>This VFS module is part of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>vfs_fruit</command> module provides
+ enhanced compatibility with Apple SMB clients and
+ interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver.</para>
+
+ <para>The module should be stacked with
+ <command>vfs_catia</command> if enabling character conversion and
+ must be stacked with <command>vfs_streams_xattr</command>, see the
+ example section for the correct config.</para>
+
+ <para>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. All
+ other named streams are deferred to
+ <command>vfs_streams_xattr</command> which must be loaded
+ together with <command>vfs_fruit</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>Having shares with ADS support enabled for OS X client
+ is worthwhile because it resembles the behaviour of Apple's
+ own SMB server implementation and it avoids certain severe
+ performance degradations caused by Samba's case sensitivity
+ semantics.</para>
+
+ <para>The OS X metadata and resource fork stream can be stored
+ in a way compatible with Netatalk 3 by setting
+ <command>fruit:resource = file</command> and
+ <command>fruit:metadata = netatalk</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>OS X maps NTFS illegal characters to the Unicode private
+ range in SMB requests. By setting <command>fruit:encoding =
+ native</command>, all mapped characters are converted to
+ native ASCII characters.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally, share access modes are optionally checked
+ against Netatalk AFP sharing modes by setting
+ <command>fruit:locking = netatalk</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>This module is not stackable other then described in
+ this manpage.</para>
