Hello everyone. I am about to setup a Samba server using SuSe 9.1 Professional and samba version 3.0. Currently, I am using a Server with 3 36gig SCSI drives setup in a RAID 5 array. That should give me about 60 gigs of space to work with. Now, the server itself is just going to be a file and print server, nothing else. What I was hoping to get from some people here are some recommended partition setup schemes. What works well, what is necessary/unnecessary etc. I know partitioning is a personal thing, I just like to hear options and ideas from others here. I appreciate it. Cheers, Jason

Hope to give some hints Thomas
