Typically you want the page file on the fastest array. RAID 5 is actually the slowest in your setup.
As for the size, I'm sure whatever its at now is sufficient. -----Original Message----- From: Chyka Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 7:41 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Paging File Question.... Hi Everyone..... im runnig exchange 2000 on a dell 6650 server and windows 2000 advanced server. i have the /3 GB switch on the boot.ini and the specs on the server are the following: Dual XEON 1.60Ghz Processors 3 Gigs RAM OS RAID 1 (9 gig) Log Files RAID 1 (18 gig) IS Drive RAID 5 (140 gigs) i have my paging file on the raid 5 drive with the database. is this good or bad? im getting mixed reviews from local people here... another thing i cant figure out is windows is recommending the paging file to be 5374 but it wont allow me to change it to that high. it tells me i have to have it smaller than 4095.. any ideas why this is doing this? any input or recommendations on location of the paging file is appreciated because in outlook i get pauses and chokes every few minutes when i am opening messages or scrolling through my mail. thanks for any input and help.
