Comment 11 for bug 1977491

Thanks, for the suggestions. I'm setting up a VM now for further testing. I'll let you know.

However, while I wait I did a little experiment.

I made the following change to my smb.conf:
fruit:resource = xattr

But, I left streams_xattr in the same position in the vfs configuration line, rather than removing it.

My server now works. Which is a bit bizarre, because though I have not delved into the code, it is my understanding that both "resource = xattr" and "resource = stream" shovel the alternative data stream bits down to the next vfs module in the stack to be handled, which in both cases would be "streams_xattr" coming after "fruit".
