We are using subfile for pst files since about 2 years and are happy with it.
The fileserver has around 150 userhomes all with pst. Most user have pst between 1 and 2 gb, some above. We needed subfile because we did the daily backup over a 2 Mbit connection for about all together of 500 GByte data. Some problems so far: full subfile cache directory because tsm client did no proper housekeeping of this dir. (had to delete all files and start new after a year) Restores of pst files sometimes a little "problematic" if administrator has no ntfs access to that file. I think the size limit for cachdir can be overcome by using more logical nodes on that server - each one with his own cache dir.
