There is a lot of good information on this in the Imail archives. You should have 3 partitions. (4 if you put the page file on its own.) Partition 1: System Partition 2: Imail & Declude & such Partition 3: Spool file Partition 4: Page file. You may also want to create to page file partitions for protection, as it is not recommend to mirror the page file. Partition 5 Page file B Using 4 partitions on 3 drives I would go like this: Drive 1 Partition 1 Partition 2 Partition 4 Drive 2 Partition 1 Partition 3 Drive 3 Partition 2 Partition 3 Ultimately, I would put logs on a separate partition also, but could be on the same as Imail & Declude & such.
