[Samba] Re: [Samba] Linux EXT3 support? problems flushing?

[Dusty Hall]

Paul,

I don't know if this helps but I'm running RH7.2 on ext3 with Samba 2.2.1a & 
Quotas, I haven't heard any users complain yet, (300 total users). I don't 
believe any of them are using Outlook though, but they are using the Samba for 
their Groupwise MailArchive. Hope this helps...
