I wouldn't say it's impossible, these are home-folders for a biochemical
company, and I know they store a LOT, both in size and numbers of files.

Just let me know if there is anything else you need, like more complete
log entries or testing some configuration changes, cause right now I'm
not sure how to proceed myself.

The server is amd64 on gentoo, server 0.09 compiled from source,
upgraded to 0.10 installed with ebuild.

Client is 32bit fedora core 3, client compiled manually from source.

Thanks so far,
Peter
