Why should a disk to disk copy cause paging I/O to a third disk?
That doesn't seem to be an efficient way to copy a file...

Not too sure but, please make sure that your pagefile is located on another physical hard disk (instead of the system disk)...

"Olav" <x@xxxxx> wrote in message news:u9FZdr$jHHA.4936@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI have seen this problem on may hardware combinations:
When I copy large (> 5GB) Virtual Machine images from one disk to another on a Windows Server 2003 machine (x64 with 4GB RAM), the machine will get into serious performance problems. Remote desktop hangs and / or gets extremely sluggish. Virtual machines running is not responding etc. Ping responds ok during the copy. In performance monitor, I can see that Pages / sec is going over the roof.
This is a very serious problem.
Anyone else seen this or know how to fix this?
