    There is a partial implementation lieing around somewhere, but there
    were a number of problems we ran into that were discussed in the
    slidedeck. Basically, if the only program accessing the files
    containing forks was the Samba program calling forkdepot library, it
    worked fine. But if there were other programs (or NFS servers) that
    were potentially deleting files, moving files around, the things fell
    apart fairly quickly.
