Hello,

I've a couple of questions on setting up my lovely new server... I've
decided on R1 (2*36GB) for the OS, R1 (2*73GB) primarily for the Log
Files and R5 (5*73GB) for the Data files.
I was wondering if I could increase performance by partitioning off/
creating a new volume on my log array and placing on there the tempdb
and possibly another volume for the indexes.ndf.

Any ideas on whether its OK to have other volumes use the same pysical
disks as the log array?

And, is it best to have as many data files for each database as there
are on your disk array, so 5 in my case (or is it 4 as it's R5 , i.e.
1-n disks).

Setup Ideas welcomed!
Rob
