Re: Re: WHS Tips

One problem I'm finding is with the way the drive extender works.

I've installed WHS on a spare 80gb drive I had hanging around thinking this
would be plenty for a OS server install. But the way the drive extender
works is that it 'pools' all hard drives together to make it seem like
there
is one big bit of storage. In reality what happens is everything gets put
on
the main disk (the 80gb one in my case) then farmed off onto the other
disks
by the drive extender. The problem is that the drive extender doesn't
constantly move files so even though I have a lot of free space in there,
file copies and downloads are failing until the disks are 'rebalanced'.

The technical PDF for drive extender recommends that you install the OS on
the biggest drive possible to avoid these kinds of problems, nice of them
to
tell me first! Anyway, looks like I'll be reinstalling WHS. Anyone know if
a
ghost image and restore onto a larger disk would work with WHS?
