[Samba] File systems

[Lennard Bakker]

If you really want to upgrade to a journaling file system, i would
recomment that you should use ext3. ext3 is een extension of ext2. In
case of problems/erros, you still can mount as an ext2 file system.

But i must say that Joel as a good point; If it ain't broke, don't fix
it.

At the moment it has an ext2 file system for the drives containing peoples work, etc. I was wondering if people can suggest a better file system to use than ext2 as I believe this is getting dated (but stable).
