This system will need to work without UTF-8 therefore no nfs

If I recall correctly, this was because Xêro wanted to stay logged in over night on Offenbach, which would mean we can't restart the pnfs server and thus risk crashes after a while as described in the wiki.

I think we should keep UTF-8 and the NFS shared on Offenbach because it would be too confusing if on some Windows servers the NFS shares are accessible and on others they aren't. The risk of crashes should be fairly small because of the following reasons:

  • There are only two users on Offenbach (Xêro and Karen), so the number of network drives should rarely reach 26
  • Xêro can now do most development work on Ubuntu (using Forms Builder, Sqlplus and DBeaver), so working on Offenbach would be an exception

To further minimize the risk we can modify our Restart-Pnfs script a little. We should still try to restart pnfs every night. Only if Xêro is logged in that night, we should skip it.
