For handling Store I/O there is a good bit of reading in Tony Redmond's book; Chapter 7 section 7.6.
WRT "chunk size" on your controller, use 64K for database drives. You don't need to worry about chunk size on volumes where you store transaction logs. John Matteson; Exchange Manager Geac Corporate Infrastructure Systems and Standards (404) 239 - 2981 Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Marc Mearns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 9:39 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Block Size User Group We are using Exchange 2000 SP2 NT 2000 SP2 Can someone please point me to a document that will give me definitive answers to my questions below or can respond with positive answers: 1. What should the block size be for the Transaction logs (assuming that I have placed then on a different disk volume) 2. What should the block size be for the database taking into consideration that you have edb and stm files on the same volume. 3. What should the block size be for the operating system. 4. Can you please give an explanation as to why you would use the recommended block size for the above 3 questions. 5. Can anyone recommend a good TechNet article that covers this topic. Note I have looked on TechNet but have not really found anything concrete and on the user group archives.
