No such thing is built into OneFS, but might be achieved through an external ICAP server.  OneFS supports ICAP mainly for virus-scanning -- check the docs for AVscan to see wether it can satisfy your needs. Unlikely to be called "elegant" for this case though.  hth  -- Peter
is there a way to prevent the generation of files like .DS_Store and so on on ISILON when used as SMB-Sharemount?  the normal samba-server has the option veto files, it would take an entry like:  veto files = /._*/.DS_Store/ delete veto files = yes  Does Isilon OneFS7.1 also provide such a possibility? regards MSP
veto files in smb-share
