NFS, Samba and Kolab run really fast on our x86_64 machine. Regarding concerns of filesystem corruption: Always make backups. There can be a hardware crash or some other catastrophy any time. Using ext3 does not safe you the trouble of making proper backups and planning for disaster. And if you have a good backup strategy anyway... why not try XFS? :-) regards, Andreas Micklei
