I've currently got everyone's HOME directories pointing to the file
server.  You can do the same thing.  If you incorporate roaming
profiles, you'll see the My Docs and desktop settings (all the
personall settings) in the designated profile directory.  It is a
setup used in NT Server's User Manager for Domains.  You can probably
use the prolicy editor in Windows to hack directory locations, too.
As long as you make your RAID directory part of your Samba share and
make your profiles directory and home directories under that, you're
set.

Later!
