Hi: Our old school is based on your notion of data and application away from each other also but..
Set 1:- OS & IMail Set 2:- spool Set 3:- mailboxes Disk 4:- Pagefile So our configuration is based on 4 different distinct sets. This has been discussed many times in the past. Our configuration is not the best for speed but it allows us easy expansion: Set 1: RAID 0+1: One does not expect this to grow in size.. The server is only email (OS + IMail + Declude + Virus software + Diskeeper) Set 2: RAID 0+1: Just spool Set 3: RAID 5: Just Mailboxes: this is discussed before and the best configuration for speed is naturally a RAID 0+1 but we made them a RAID 5 to allow us easy expansion if needed. Disk 4: Single disk- for pagefile. But my recommendation is separate your mailbox drive from your OS drive. Also if you can separate your spool from your OS drive as well.

"old-school" ist the only way that makes sense here! We do it like Niels in the same way on all of our server machines. When you install on c:, what happens when your file system is full? Too many users with too much mail in the folders... and so on;-) Roland ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Niels Henriksen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 14:33:49 +0200 >Hello Michel > >Well....
