May not be the best way, but ... [1]we shutdown Exch services[2], moved the files, recreated the drives, moved them back, ran optimizer[3], started Exch[4].

I have been lurking here for a year or so, but I have to ask you guys a question now, so here we go. Version: Exchange 5.5 SP3, NT4.0 SP5. Information store: 18GB. We ran out of space on the raid containing the information store. To fix this quick, I added two disks in the server, and moved the information store to the new 20GB disk. This helped the problem, but the new disks are not redundant/raided/mirrored. My plan to fix this is to move the private information store to a mapped network drive using exchange optimizer, delete the 17GB raid we used before, the reconfigure the raid with more disks, and then move the information store back. Is this possible? I plan to do this at night, to minimize downtime.
