I am installing a new 2003 exchange server. I am placing
the logs on the OS partision and the database on a
seperate disk set. How much space should I plan for the
log files? How large do they grow? I will be using a 36
gig drive. THe only thing that will be on the drive is
the OS and exchange. This would leave about 30 gigs for
all of the transaction logs and such. Would 30 gigs be
excepatble or should I plan for more space?
