Hello, does the Linux NFSv4 server has support for alternate data streams? Solaris surely has, but we want to replace it. As our Windows applications (DB) rely on alternate data streams the question is whether the Linux NFSv4 server can fully replace the Solaris NFSv4 server in that respect.
No. These are not supported on Linux and (likely) never will be. Alternate data streams are just the sort of misfeature that virus writers love. -- Jeff Layton [off-list ref]
