[Samba] SysVol questions

Sysvol is a particular share used when you want to use samba as a Active 
Directory Domain Controler.

this share must not contain data (your volumes).

a volume can be a partition or a directory into a partition.
it's depend how you want to manage your server.

What netware version have you ?
