WOAH
well if government servers are using ntfs they deserve to lose data alot
my ole school lost alot of data when one of the drives got hit by a virus that destroys the mft
the computer tech dude said to me, wouldn't have happened with fat32, he also said, he doesn't recommend servers use ntfs not for security reasons but for the same thing i've just been talking about
he'd been working at a school trying to recover about 300gbs of data that had been lost when the mft got damaged
and chris
Fault tolerance only works when the drive supports it
and not all drives do
mine is one that doesn't
cookie... i've been playing with hard discs before they reached the size of a cdrom bay
i've used raw fat fat32, ntfs on some server machines
i've used compressed drivers
i've been partitioning formatting low level formatting and converting hard disks since i was 8
i used to rip macs apart and piece em back together, to a working state
i don't care whether your in the believe that your older so you know more.. coz thats crap
i know a 5 yr old that knows as much as i do,
most of the crap i know about computers i didn't even learn,
people have been paying me to repair computers since i was 10, and im the first person, in the entire of my suburb, that people call, when they have problems,
so untill you can come back and tell me that you have a base of people and friends that big who trust me with the maintenance and repairs on there machines
just don't speak at all
i only got my it2 cert last yr, and i hardly went to any classes for that certificate
i don't read from books, which is why i know alot more about things then most people
my friend who did the same course as me, couldn't even format and reinstall windows
and they taught it in my course
which is skipped that day anyway
but don't bring up the shit that you've been using hard drives alot longer then me
coz i've got uncles older then you, one of which works at ibm and is a hardcore lan gamer who goes to lan parties
and knew half as much as what i do about tweaking performance to a max
you and your 28 yrs mean buckley to me,
age doesn't mean wisdom
just means your closer to carking it
also if you do go with ntfs on a single partition use this
1. Start regedit from the run command.
2. Check out for that key called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem
3. Create a DWORD-variable with the name NtfsMftZoneReservation.
4. Add the value 1 = 12.5% (Windows default value) or 2 = 25%. This values are percent free Harddiskspace.
5. Reboot the system
bigger hard disks need a bigger MFT reserved space otherwise the mft won't be written and you will lose data
edit: thanks for merging em chris. was about to do it myself
