Not sure I follow? Are you saying that adding drives to windows,
expanding file systems, or cleaning up disks require you to shut
down?
No. I was referring to the "c:" drive running out of space. Say a spammer floods a mail server with garbage that fills the drive unexpectedly.
My understanding is that under Windows you allocate space to a "drive", then reference that drive from applications. The logical drive is a fixed size - and doesn't extend automatically, when another physical drive is added.
Under IBM i, no space is specifically allocated to libraries, files, file systems, or databases. Adding a physical drive automatically extends any space available to everything on the server. No need to partition anything, no need to designate a logical drive, no need to allocate space to anything, no need to move anything, no need to change applications to reference a different "drive", for example.
Nathan.
