I vaguely recall a 'best practice' theory of making sure whatever drive (volume) your exchange databases are installed on that it's a good idea the drive space of that volume is at least 2x the size of your databases -- this is because of space needed for doing restores or something like that.
For example. If my exchange dbs are on my e: drive and the exchange dbs are approximately 20gb, then i should make sure i have at least a 50gb e: drive to accommodate for space neccessary if I performed a complete exchange restore. Does this ring a bell or am I thinking of something else?
