Well, on second look, getting the drive format may not matter. I mapped a
drive letter to a Samba file share UNC address on a Solaris box.
DriveInfo.DriveFormat on the mapped letter returned "NTFS", but it appears
that the volume still does not support alternate data streams. (In theory,
is an NTFS volume actually required to support ADS streams, or is that an
optional feature... or is this a Samba bug?)
Thanks.
