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)?

compacting IS (was Large Exchange Store)
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.

Subject: compacting IS
(was Large Exchange Store)
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.

RE: Large Exchange Store
You want it to startup
faster???? Why is it even going down in the first
place? How big is the
store?
Personally, you haven't
given me any reason to give you the answers you
seek. The server
sounds like it is doing fine without your intervention...
