Setting Properties to Export Shares over SMB
Several share properties must be set in certain ways when exporting a share over SMB.
Table 3-45 SMB Share Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Case Sensitivity |
SMB clients expect case-insensitive behavior, so this property must be |
|
Reject non UTF-8 |
If non-UTF-8 filenames are allowed in a filesystem, SMB clients may function incorrectly. See Static Properties. |
|
Non-Blocking Mandatory Locking |
This property must be enabled to allow byte range locking to function correctly. See Static Properties. |
|
Resource name |
The name by which clients refer to the share. For information about how this name is inherited from a project, see Share and Project Protocols. |
|
Share-level ACL |
An ACL which adds another layer of access control beyond the ACLs stored in the filesystem. For more information on this property, see Access Control Lists for Filesystems. |
The case sensitivity and reject non UTF-8 properties can only be set when creating a share.
No two SMB shares on the same system may share the same resource name. Resource names inherited from projects have special behavior. For details, see Shares and Projects. Resource names must be less than 80 characters, and can contain any alphanumeric characters besides the following characters:
" / \ [ ] : | < > + ; , ? * =When access-based enumeration is enabled, clients may see directory entries for files which they cannot open. Directory entries are filtered only when the client has no access to that file. For example, if a client attempts to open a file for read/write access but the ACL grants only read access, that open request will fail but that file will still be included in the list of entries.
