Thanks. I figured as much and planned on only
using half of my array for the IS and the other half for disaster
recovery. We are low-end and a
notoriously cheap company, so we are going with IDE RAID and I have five 75GB
drives in the array right now.
Unfortunately we are a heavy email company and people would go nuts if
they could only have 100MB of storage.
How much space do you guys typically provide your users (common users,
not the power users)? -----Original Message----- You should always take into account
needing the disk space in the event of a disaster and "needing" to
run database utilities. With the costs of disk space decreasing just
about daily, add as many drives as you can to the array and walk away a happy
admin. D -----Original Message----- I have a quick question for you
guys. Originally I read that you should leave enough space free in your
RAID array (at least twice the size of your store) so that you can compact if
needed. However, I have since learned on this list that compacting is not
a good idea unless you absolutely have to do it, so I'm wondering if I really
should reserve all that extra free space on my array or not? Since I'm in
the planning stages of how much mailbox space to give our users as we move to
server-based storage, I was wondering about this. Thanks a lot. -----Original Message----- You want it to startup faster????
Why is it even going down in the first Personally, you haven't given me any
reason to give you the answers you D List Charter and FAQ at: List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm |
