Re: Full Text File Locations - Best Practices



Any time you have enough LUNs or Drives, then every file should have its own
I/O thread.

Otherwise, evaluate the 'traffic' for the file. With a large amount of
read/write activity, a separate drive/LUN would be helpful. With lesser
amounts of traffic, trade-offs become necessary.

Generally accepted 'Best Practice':

Logs on dedicated drive/LUN.
Database on dedicated drive/LUN
TempDb on dedicated drive/LUN

With limited options, whether to put the F/T catalog files on the same
drive/LUN as the database or the TempDb would depend upon the application
design and traffic. A well behaved OLTP application, using tightly
controlled small queries, may not have much demand on the TempDb drive/LUN.

I would run some metrics on the Database and TempDb drives/LUNs to determine
which has the most 'slack'.

Any suggestions and/or supporting documentation for best practices on
where
to locate the full text catalog files. Especially as related to other
data,
log, and tempdb files?

My searching is coming up empty.

Thanks in advance.

Terry
