[wplug] FC2 to Debian-ish

[James LaSalle]

I'm rebuilding my Fedora Core 2 Samba server. Since it's a total 
rebuild, I will use this opportunity to migrate from Fedora to Debian or 
Ubuntu server. Right now I don't see a lot of difference between Debian 
unstable and Ubuntu -- minor issue at this point.

The main question is what file system? I've been using ext3 but a 
cursory look suggests XFS may be faster and has built in ACL support. 
Faster is good; however, I've also seen repeated references to XFS 
instability -- especially after unplanned restarts. It seems XFS will 
replace segments of files with a string of  zeros. It's unclear to me if 
this is fixed in Debian Sarge or Ubuntu server 5.10.   ACL support may 
be nice but I'm not interested in implementing this in Samba right now.

I'm sure many have traveled this road before. Your comments would be 
greatly appreciated.

Tnx.
