And that's exactly what they did: Virtual disks that dynamically expand are not
supported
DAG, DAG, DAG... Why would you want to do this when TB+ drives are
available?

In the virtualisation guide for Exchange
Note: I am not recommending you go against published guidance from MSFT.
That being said - that recommendation is primarily against the original
Hyper-V. VHDs created by the original version of Hyper-V, or disks that have
been upgraded from Virtual Server or Virtual PC, expand quite slowly.
I would be interested in anyone doing this or thinking about doing this in
an EMC storage environment.
Just attended a 1/2 seminar by EMC where they espoused virtual disks that
could/would expand when needed.
One thing shown was disturbing (to me at least).
They said MS was targeting 25GB
to stay under an artificial limit.

So, if I host my Exchange DB on a Lefthand that is thin provisioned,
that's unsupported?
Or, continuing on my Lefthand example, I've shut down the VM, expanded
the space allocated to the drive on which the DB resides, then use
diskpart to expand the partition to the size of the allocated disk -

Microsoft is not in the business of supporting third party storage systems. :-P
If you call PSS and complain Exchange is slow and it's because every time a
new block is written to the database and this causes
it.

MSFT Online will have 25 GB mailboxes this fall, when they upgrade the
infrastructure to Exchange 2010.
I have historical reservations about it, and backups are a concern; but

On what grounds would the lawyers pick it apart? It's really straightforward -
if you do this, and it doesn't work, you're on your own.
It doesn't speak to any other use cases, and it doesn't necessarily pick
