[Samba] Outlook .pst on a samba share; do or don't?

[Florian Stahl]

I only would like to put into consideration that I corrupted my outlook.pst
file
and lost a lot of messages while I had outlook open and the client lost
connection
due to service maintenance on the linux server.

And the Inbox-Repair-Tool from Microsoft didnt do a good job at all to
resume the information.

kind regardez
