<para>This parameter specifies whether Samba should use DMAPI to
8
determine whether a file is offline or not. This would typically
9
be used in conjunction with a hierarchical storage system that
10
automatically migrates files to tape.
13
<para>Note that Samba infers the status of a file by examining the
14
events that a DMAPI application has registered interest in. This
15
heuristic is satisfactory for a number of hierarchical storage
16
systems, but there may be system for which it will fail. In this
17
case, Samba may erroneously report files to be offline.
20
<para>This parameter is only available if a supported DMAPI
21
implementation was found at compilation time. It will only be used
22
if DMAPI is found to enabled on the system at run time.
