When I do that, I try to dedicate an entire spindle to the pagefile, if possible. It eliminates competition for disk I/O from other sources. If I can't devote a full spindle, I do tend to do a "pagefile partition" just because it gives the pagefile a nice, clean sandbox of its own without data storage creeping into its space.
That said, all of the configuration is completely dependent upon hardware and software configuration. In other words, just because I've done things this way, that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm advising it as a best practice. Heck, it doesn't even necessarily mean that it's a good idea. :-) Laura > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ramon Linan > Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 1:08 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Split pagefile > > Hi, > > I have an answer and a question about the same. > > Most of my servers have 2 partition, one for the OS and the > other for data, I always put the pagefile in the data > partition, so yes, you can have the have the whole thing in a > different partition or hard drive. > > Actually, Linux system always create a swap partition just > for that purpose, so I wonder if it would be more efficient > to always create a partition just for the pagefile...
