Swap File Question

[Guest supersonic_oasis]

Hi all,

 

I have a 64bit Windows 2003 R2 machine. It is an exchange server, and it is

starting to run out of space on the C: drive (only 2.6 GB left). Pretty much

the only thing that puts files on the C: drive are Windows Updates. I was

thinking about making some changes to the swap file to make some room. The

server has 32GB of RAM. The swap files are currently setup as follows:

 

C: 2046-4092 MB

E: 2046-49149 MB

 

My question is this: What if I change the size of the swap partition on the

C: drive to say...300MB? That would give me plenty of room, as the swap file

is currently taking up 2.5GB. Is it safe to do this?

 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Re: Swap File Question

 

Sounds ok to me.

As long as you have enuff swap file on the first drive to boot.

I have put all the swap file on secondary drives before and if that drive

fails you are in trouble
