Have you applied the "Dancing Icons" patches from umich (or have the latest
asun)

I use netatalk/samba/nfs to share 30 GB on a Pentium Pro 200 w/64MB ram and
100BaseT. The RAID is stripped using the Linux md drivers and it works
great.. Good response even under load and have had no problems. The only thing
is the mac's only show 4GB available (no big deal)..
