The following operations are logged: share - connect/disconnect, directory opens/create/remove, - file open/close/rename/unlink/chmod. - - recycle - A recycle-bin like modules. When used any unlink call - will be intercepted and files moved to the recycle - directory nstead of beeing deleted. - - block - A simple module to block access to certain mount points or - directories. This module only hides the specified directories - and all directories beneath them. It should NOT be used to - secure directories. If the name of a file in one of those - directories is known, the file can still be opened. - - netatalk - A netatalk module, that will ease co-existence of samba and - netatalk file sharing services. - Looka t the README for more informations. - -You may have problems to compile these modules, as shared libraries are -compiled and linked in different ways on different systems. -I currently tested them against GNU/linux and IRIX. - -To use the VFS modules, create a share similar to the one below.

It presents information from a database as a filesystem in -a modular and generic way to allow different databases to be used -(originally designed for organizing MP3s under directories such as -"Artists," "Song Keywords," etc...

The directory structure is stored in the -database itself and the module makes no assumptions about the database -structure beyond the table it requires to run.
