I don't need to be educated that there are other filesystems available = for NT and W2k, but who would seriously consider to use them on a server in= a business environment?! What I meant is, that there aren't any filesyste= ms out there like Veritas filesystem (that Veritas has developed but are n= ot allowed by MS to release) for NT and W2k that either give better performance or more sophisticated features (like the Veritas FS). The f= act that I don't have MCSA, MCSE or whatever in my signature doesn't mean t= hat I don't know what I'm talking about.
