NTFS cluster blocking factor for MSDP database and MSDP data volumes?
Hi Forum - I've read elsewhere that is is recommended to format the NFTS volumes that will be used to house the MSDP database and MSDP data with a cluster size of 64 KB (i.e. 128 traditional 512 byte sectors).
However if if look at a slightly populated MSDP server, I see most files are less than 64 KB.
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
