Re: Disk Partitioning on exch 2003



The only suggestion that comes to mind with those limitations is that you
may want to consider changing the limitations of the disk. Putting the log
files on the same drive partition is not a best practice after years of
learning the hard way by many people. You really should consider getting
some other disks to put the log files.
If that's not possible, then putting the log files on the same drive as the
OS would likely yield better performance than putting them on a RAID 5
partition. If that's not a concern either, than I can't offer any other
suggestions :)
