Actually, the thing that John ran into is a good reason to split them up. How long would this have gone on before the log took up ALL the space, and users can no longer save documents, recieve email, etc. I've heard one DOS trick is to send a lot of requests so that single partitioned servers logs fill up the drive and the legit users can no longer use it. Video files are something you don't want fragmented if you're editing. A seperate partition for them is a good idea. Is greater rotational speed of the drive platter on the outsides of the disk conducive to higher data rates? If so, then partitioning to ensure, say, your video files get better throughput than your emails would be a good idea. tack _______________________________________________ Bits mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sugoi.org/mailman/listinfo/bits
