Any thoughts or recommendations on partitioning....
1st drive: OS, apps,
second drive: unique system-wide swap file
(no page file on following drives/partitions)
3rd drive: mailqueue and webmail workspace
3th: all logging. (use a separate logging pgm if Imail/windows isn't
flexible enough), or even send the logging a syslog server.
other drives: mail storage
If you can't supply that many different disks, then do the best you
can and at least partition along those lines.
All partitions should be at least 50% bigger than actual/predicted used space.
Also note that mobo's come with 2 ATA interfaces, so the disks should
be distributed among all 4 channels. Even slip in a good ATA100
controller to get more disk channels.
Also note that an ATA100+ channel with a ATA33/66 device will cause
all the devices on the channel to run at 33/66.
Finally, run IMGate to reject 80+% of the total traffic you're
currently punishing your mailbox server with, and for sending your
outbound. You're SMTP log file traffic/sizes will drop dramatically.
