Hello,
I was configuring Samba on my OpenBSD 7.2 server and wanted to support
iOS/iPad OS and macOS clients.
The documentation for Samba states that the following vfs options are
required to support these clients:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
. . .
vfs = catia fruit streams_xattr
... however, my server is using UFS2 (the default), which I am aware
does not support extended attributes.
OpenBSD doesn't support xattr at all.
Would it be possible to get around that by mounting an ext2 disk image
file on OpenBSD via: vnconfig and: mount and pointing: smb.conf to it ?
No.
You may be able to do something with

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for your reply. Ah, interesting! I had not spotted that vfs
module on the Samba site.
It appears to warn against using it in production, but I will be
providing service to 2-3 clients at the most, so I will give it a try
and report back on anything interesting I ran into.
