Every so often = around every 1 or 2 minutes. I found out it was the transaction log.
Transaction and IS were both on drive E: (not as per my first e-mail). So I moved the transaction logs to drive d: and it's been fine since. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hlabse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 October 2002 3:28 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: 400% disk utilization! What does every so often mean. Is there antivirus software running? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Coppini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 5:07 AM Subject: 400% disk utilization! I've been using PerfMon for a while today to monitor our Exchange 2k server. Every so often, for no apparent reason, %disk time for disk 1 (E:) goes up to 100% and stays there for a good 30 seconds. Disk 0 (C:,D:) stays low. I tried doing an Advanced find for some text in all my mailbox, but %disk time fluctuates around 90%... It never stays steady at 100%. Also, looking at the statistics under the perfmon graph, I noticed that it showed 415 as the Maximum... Any idea what could be causing this? Here's a few specs: C,D = single SCSI RAID5 set 3x 10,000rpm 36gb Disks, storing system on C:, transaction logs on D: E: = single SCSI RAID5 set 3x 10,000rpm 36gb disks, storing IS. 1.2gb RAM Single P3-700 CPU HP Netserver LC2000r machine. One concern that I have is that both RAID5 sets are on the same SCSI bus (we weren't supplied with the necessary cable and split backplane when we initially installed the server). Would this affect it?
