Hi,
We are facing difficulties writing to Alternate Data Streams (ADS) on a
Windows CIFS mount on CentOS/RHEL Linux.
Steps followed on both machine:
--------------------------------------------
On RHEL(cifs.ko version: 1.68)
1. Created sample.txt file using vim with come content inside the
Windows CIFS share mounted on linux.
2. Then wrote some content with “vim sample.txt:mytext”. This writes
successfully into ADS.
3. On windows running “streams.exe sample.txt” we can see the ADS
content.
On CentOS(cifs.ko.xy version: 2.09)
1. Followed the same above two steps 1 and 2.
2. It created a new file on linux as “sample.txt<some random char
replaced>mytext (note the “:” got mapped with some random char)
3. On windows also the same it shows “sample.txt<some random char
replaced>mytext”
Have we anything on centOS. While mounting windows share we used “mount -t
cifs <windows path> <local_path>” with and without “-o nomapchars” , “-o
noposixpath” etc. But no success.
Please advice how to proceed further.
Appreciate any guidance provided.
Thanks
Krishna
