And it is. Thanks. The problem is baselining these. At present they're set to absolute minimum level but are around 3GB on a farm that doesn't get much use.
Plan is to create a D partition for all WSS servers and change the diagnostic/trace log path in CA. Is good?

This is usually the main culprit for running out of drive space. The setting is in central admin Operations --> Diagnostic logging, or http://yourcentraladmin:1234/_admin/metrics.aspx Sezai.

Even installation package ask you where to install, it keeps 12Hive folder on C drive. Just move DB to other drive and that's all Even there are some ways to move all files from C I expect you get number of unpredictable issues with updates, components and other stuff which has encoded C:\ drive. I believe that SharePoint 2010 will fix this, especially around the feature storage (should be isolated storage, not file directory) Michael Nemtsev Readify | Microsoft MVP http://msmvps.org/blogs/laflour T: 0424 184 978 | E: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Paul Noone [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Wednesday, 3 June 2009 11:20 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: SharePoint ate my hard drive Hi all, Does anyone know if SharePoint can be installed on a partition other than C? We've run into major disk space issues with our VMS (they were only ever allocated a 20GB drive). As a result I've uninstalled non-essential software, reduced diagnostic log retention and trace log levels. I'm even looking at creating a new partition for all servers and relocating any log files that can be moved. I still don't see this as a long term solution though because its Windows (and SharePoint) Updates that are the real culprits. The way I see it we either get some third party software and resize all the C partitions (unsupported?) or rebuild all the servers with greater disk capacity and attempt MOSS/WSS installation on a partition that can be resized. Would be very interested in hearing if other people have run into this, what the solutions were, and what general base requirements you'd suggest for disk size.
