Hi,
Best practice used to be to put the pagefile on a different BUS than
the OS. The idea is that you can read/write to both the OS and the PF at the
same time. We always put the entire PF on a separate bus/drive in it's own
partition. That way you have the added speed of a bus apart from the OS bus
and a contiguous PF. We never bothered with a C: swapfile because we could
never afford to send the dump to M$ for decryption. :-}

Hi,
I have an answer and a question about the same.
Most of my servers have 2 partition, one for the OS and the other for data, I
always put the pagefile in the data partition, so yes, you can have the have
the whole thing in a different partition or hard drive.
Actually, Linux system always create a swap partition just for that purpose,
so I wonder if it would be more efficient to always create a partition just
for the pagefile... Anyone knows?

Sorry for the reply to my own post, but this article:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/Windows2003/AdminTips
/Miscellaneous/EnhancePerformancebyMovingthePagefile.html
says I can move the whole thing to a different partition. I'll leave a meg on
the C drive just for the dumpfile, which we limit to 64K, in case the system
crashes and I can actually figure out how to read the dumpfile.
But, really, is it OK to leave absolutely NO pagefile on C:/? We normally
leave at least 200Mb on the C: partition when we move the rest to a different
drive.
