1.13. Configuring Samba for macOS clients


The fruit virtual file system (VFS) Samba module provides enhanced compatibility with Apple server message block (SMB) clients.

The fruit module provides enhanced compatibility of Samba with macOS clients. You can configure the module for all shares hosted on a Samba server to optimize the file shares for macOS clients. For more information, see the vfs_fruit(8) man page on your system.

注意

Enable the fruit module globally. Clients using macOS negotiate the server message block version 2 (SMB2) Apple (AAPL) protocol extensions when the client establishes the first connection to the server. If the client first connects to a share without AAPL extensions enabled, the client does not use the extensions for any share of the server.

Prerequisites

  • Samba is configured as a file server.

Procedure

  1. Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, and enable the fruit and streams_xattr VFS modules in the [global] section:

    vfs objects = fruit streams_xattr
    重要

    You must enable the fruit module before enabling streams_xattr. The fruit module uses alternate data streams (ADS). For this reason, you must also enable the streams_xattr module.

  2. Optional: To provide macOS Time Machine support on a share, add the following setting to the share configuration in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

    fruit:time machine = yes
  3. Verify the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

    # testparm
  4. Reload the Samba configuration:

    # smbcontrol all reload-config
