Re: The following disk has low idle time...

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but it doesn't seem that my first
response got posted.

The server has 4gig of RAM. This server has been running about 6
months and this is the first time I've gotten this alert, so it likely
has to do with the changes I made this weekend.

I only have a page file set on the C drive now. If there is an actual
problem, do you know if this is an alert that should be triggered
nightly?

How much memory in your server....sounds like you're getting lots of paging  activity due to not enough RAM

I got the following alert from my server (SBS 2003 Premium R2 SP2)
this morning:

"The following disk has low idle time, which may cause slow response
time when reading or writing files to the disk.

Disk: 2 M:"

This weekend I made images of the C, D & M drive on the server. I then
added 2 more disks into the RAID configuration, recreated the array
(making 3 logical drives), applied the images and then expanded each
one to the new size.

Because I was running out of space I had put the page file onto the M:
drive previously, so one of the things I did after everything was
running well yesterday is I moved the page file to the C drive and I
rebooted.

Disk 2 is actually just a logical drive I made out of the array.
Should I be concerned about this, or should I wait and see if I get it
again before I get concerned?

Any suggestions would be great.
