OneFS file filtering can be used across NFS and SMB clients to allow or disallow writes to an export, share, or access zone. This feature prevents certain types of file extensions to be blocked, for files which might cause security problems, productivity disruptions, throughput issues, or storage clutter. Configuration can be done either with an exclusion list, which blocks explicit file extensions, or with an inclusion list, which explicitly allows writes of only certain file types.
