+
+	<para>This VFS module is part of the
+	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+	<para>The <command>vfs_streams_xattr</command> enables storing of NTFS
+	alternate data streams in the file system. As a normal posix file
+	system does not support the concept of multiple data streams per file,
+	the streams_xattr module stores the data in posix extended attributes
+	(xattrs). The name of these attributes is
+	user.DosStream."ADS-NAME".</para>
+
+	<para>The file system that is shared with this module enabled must
+	support xattrs.</para>
+
+	<para>Please note that most file systems have severe limitations on
+	the size of xattrs. So this module might work for applications like IE
+	that stores small zone information in streams but will fail for
+	applications that store serious amounts of data in ADSs.</para>
