Hey all,
I'm going to be implementing an Exchange server this weekend and everything was going perfect until I realized a little snag.
When I look at the properties of the M: Drive on my Exchange server, it shows the same amount of Free/Used Space as the C: Drive, but does not show all of the contents of the C Drive (it shows the domain, MBX folder, etc. like it is supposed to)
The problem with this is that the C: Drive is a small 14GB Partition, with 4 used, leaving 10GB free. I know that I have more than 10GB of mail to migrate into the system, so if the M: Drive stops there it'll totally screw me.
Here's the thing though, I have a 53GB D: Drive set up for the database and a 33.9GB L: drive set up for the logs. The D: is a partition off of the same set as C: which is a RAID5 across 3 disks, and the L: drive is a RAID1 mirror.
I've verified in my storage group and the database is pointing correctly at the D: drive, and the logs at the L: drive, though the system path location started as c:\Program files\exchsrvr\mdbdata and I changed it to d:\exchsrvr\mdbdata after the installation.
Why is it picking up the size of the C: drive as the size of the M: drive though, shouldn't it be reporting the size of the database drive? This is the part that has me really concerned.
Any clues/thoughts/ideas/advice???
I really need to clear this up before 1-2pm if at all possible, or I'm going to have to call the whole thing off because I'm a little nervous about it reporting that way.
TIA
