Hi Mike, This is what I was trying to allude to in my mail earlier. In the older versions of SF it was sometimes not possible to move certain application files due to them being memory mapped (Oracle in particular). However, this has been fixed for the later releases of storage foundation. Rearranging the volume layout will not help - this is purely at a file system level.
