Well, I don't believe we specified a DFS replication quota, but the server is set for about 660 MB per share (two shares.) The disk space used is about 279 Gigabytes on one share and about the same on the second share.

Is the majority of data dynamic or static? To give you an example, we host user home directories and terminal service roaming profiles on a group of DFS servers. The primay target server for each site is allocated 600GB for data. The staging directories, located on separate disks, are allocated 300GB. Free space on the Staging partitions is hovering around 50-60GB, so in our case, the staging partition was accurately sized at about 50% of the data partition. YMMV. - Sean On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 10:45 AM, John Aldrich <[email protected]> wrote: Disregard that question. I looked on the server and saw the log files in the event viewer. However, I do have a question - how much space do I need to make sure I have available for "staging" of DFS? Our primary server was getting low on disk space until I deleted some backup files in the multi-gigabyte range. Now we have about 120 Gigs free on the server. About how much do I need to keep available? John-AldrichTile-Tools From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 2:31 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DFS issues My CFO and one of my accounting people are complaining about some strange behavior of "disappearing / reappearing" files starting about the time we implemented DFS. Now, as far as I can tell from looking at the folders on the two DFS servers, the files are there on both servers. I'm NOT looking at the "share" I'm looking at the actual drives where those shares are mounted and both servers appear to have the same files. Any suggestions? Is there a DFS log file to indicate problems synching the shares? John-AldrichTile-Tools No virus found in this incoming message.
