Hi, The partitioning depends on your hardware configuration:
.:. Small Imail-Server - Two disks (RAID1) or three disks (RAID1/spare or RAID5: Partition C and D. .:. Medium/Large Imail-Server In this case, we have more SATA/SCSI-channels. I would run the data-partition on a different drive array as the OS. For high volume servers, i would recommend to run the spool-directory on a third drive array. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -------------------------------------------- Merlin Consulting Martin Schaible Bahnhofstrasse 27 CH-8702 Zollikon Phone: +41 44 391 30 00 Fax: +41 44 391 32 49 Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.merlinconsulting.ch Support: http://support.merlinconsulting.ch GPS: N47 20.235 E8 34.226 -------------------------------------------- News - Neue Produkte: .:. mxGuard - InvURIBL - MessageSniffer .:.

Do the above wrong/badly, the defragging will take forever and eat tons of resources.
