So to sum it up: Outlook .psts on a samba share are ok as long as you don't
pull the plug (but the electricity company can do that... Not all my WS have
UPSs) so to be on the safe side disable oplocks. From smb.conf man it looks
like it can't be done on a per file basis so I'll have to create a separate
share. Given the sizes (300 to 800MB each, 20 users) will ext3 do or I'll
have to resort to smth more "exotic" like JVS/RieserFS?
