Locking problems are exactly as they used to be, however, I am not sure what large file problem
you are referring to. I am currently running Chris' modified Win32 .10 tree with a lot of large
files, and have no problems so far.

Yes, Shadow Copy services would be definitely useful and the way to go under Win32.

No way around this since the server is atomic, unless we implement some kind of block caching with
upload resume.

I think Chris' is the most advanced and functional Win32 version, but he does not build with
VS2K5. It would be useful to standardize the build and test environment for Win32 Box.
