RE: [ActiveDir] Built-in Defragger and Clustering

I could imagine a problem with cache consistency if the volume was being accessed while the defrag was running...   -gil  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 10:12 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Built-in Defragger and Clustering Dan,   Been working with Clusters for a number of years, and I have never heard of this.  I can ping a couple folks, but I can’t surmise what the problem would be.  If data is re-ordered, the disk is going to work fine one way or another.   -rtk   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan DeStefano Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 10:24 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Built-in Defragger and Clustering   It has been suggested to me that W2k’s built-in defragger should not be used to defrag a shared disk in a MSCS cluster. I am hesitant to believe this since the fact that the servers are clustered does not change how the data is written to the disk, correct? So, is there any foundation for this belief?   _________________________   Daniel DeStefano PC Support Specialist   IAG Research 345 Park Avenue South, 12th Floor New York, NY 10010 T. 212.871.5262 F. 212.871.5300   www.iagr.net Measuring Ad Effectiveness on Television   The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be privileged and is intended for the exclusive use of the above named addressee(s).
