[LUG] fileserving..

["Howard Coakley" <howard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am intending to use SUSE to act a a fileserver for a home network of 4
Win98 boxes.

I want to give each user a space of approx 3 gigs and will also probably try
to make a dos batch file which will mirror their win 'my docs' folders
within this space during client startup.

Q: As these will mainly be win32 mirrors, is it sensible to make 4 separate
_fat_ partitions on my linux box - instead of ext2 partitions for each user.

Q2: If ext2 is a better or safer option, will this file system complicate my
intended folder mirroring or any subsequent auto-backup proces I might
choose for these win98 boxes?

Any other pointers?

Thanks,

H.
