My system arrived from the manufactuer yesterday and they lumped all
the hard disks into one C: drive. I am going to have to repartion it
and reinstall the OS myself. Their tech support suggested partioning
it to C: = 100 GB for the OS and the remainder for D:
I would rather have at least 3 partitions; OS, Software Applications,
Data, or more which is why I am turning to the experienced users out
there for input.
The system consists of 4 500GB hard disks with a Raid 5 controller.
What are your thoughts on how to divide up the space?
I'm not going to get into the partitioning argument - 'cept to say that
I generallly don't like it as it often leads to shortages of space on
one partition, one day.
If I get a Server pre-configured (pre-installed), I re-install *anyway*.
I think that's important. *You* need to know how it's done, how it's
installed, especially the RAID drivers etc.
I would also use that opportunity, since you have 4 disks, to re-RAID to
RAID10 (RAID1+0). You'll lose some space, but will get the best
possible RAID performance option. You'll still have a 1000Gb RAID array
- heaps for most SBS's.
