We have a 3.8 Gig database, divided into 14 extents of 256 meg each.
The 15th extent is dynamic. I have a dual channel RAID controller, with
2-9Gig drives mirrored on channel A, and 7-9Gig drives on the channel B
using RAID 0/1 (or RAID 10). I also have a single 9Gig drive with which
I use for swap file for Windows 2000 ONLY.
On channel A, I have Windows 2000 OS, and the BI file. On channel B, I
have the 15 Vantage extents.
