With Windows 2008, have at least a 20 GB for your O/S. I recommend at least 40GB or higher.
We have an 73 GB for our C drive and two 136GB in a RAID 0 for our D Drive. The C drive, with O/S, IIS 7, CF8, and logs (moved to our log server every night) takes up almost 17GB. -----Original Message----- From: Zaphod Beeblebrox [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 8:45 AM To: cf-community Subject: wow....just wow We've started deploying Win Srvr 2008 with SqlServer 2008 in our organization. Our standard deploy for Win 2000 & 2003 server was a 10G "c drive" and then a "d drive" of varying size depending on the app. I started out with a 10G drive and quickly noticed it was getting full with only the OS installed. I bumped up the drive size to 20G and installed sql server and configured it to use the d drive for db storage. That was a week ago. Today I remoted into the machine and was presented with the "You have limited space on the c drive". It had 72Mb left. WTF? The main culprit seems to be a dll cache in the Windows/winsxs dir....it's at 7.5G by itself. This is pretty f'ed up. I can install a fully featured linux server in less than 1.5G why the hell does MS need so much space? sheesh... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
