Hi Steve
THanks for the info. It gives me confidence in that my 30 or so shares 
seem trivial by comparison.

It also looks like the multiple shares method is the only way to go as 
symlinking from a single share to the real data does not work. Maybe 
this is something that is not implemented in the s4 file-server at the 
moment.
Cheers,
Steve
