July 16, 200718 yr In reading the "FileMaker Server Getting Started Guide", I noticed that the requirements went up significantly for FMS9 from 8.04. I have a question regarding the hard drive space. It states it needs a minimum 80 GB. I am assuming that this is for both App and Data since that number seems rather large. Is this the case? Perhaps Steven will chime in and confirm.
July 16, 200718 yr The specification of 80+ GB of harddrive space is a suggestion, the full size of the installation is roughly around 850 MB's. This does not include your databases or the cache size that you allow for those.
July 17, 200718 yr I typically use a 3 drive configurtion. Drive 1 is for the OS and the services and swap file. Usually 36 GB. Drives 2 and 3 are each 72 GB and are for the databases and the local backups respectively. If I expect significantly larger databases, Drive 1 is 72 GB, and drives 2 and 3 are 300 GB each. BTW, SCSI or SAS drives only. HTH Steven
