partitions or folder structure? |
|
|
I am setting up Exchange2003 on RAID5 (yes, I know that is not what is
recommended but that's the way it has to be!). So I have around 200GB of
unpartitioned space, should I simply create a single huge D: drive and use
folder structure or many partitions to separate the Exchange components, logs
etc.
IMHO with RAID5, administration\performance wont be any easier\better with
partitions.
NB: I do have a separate partition for system on C:

I'd create some partitions on the array so that Windows thinks is's |
