pagefile
Hi,I have a Windows 2003 32-bitserver (24GB of RAM)and the server has 5 partitions: C, D, E, F, and P (paging). The paging partition (P) has about 95GB of disk space. Nothing else except the Windows OS was installed. When the server is started, 45GB of disk space "USED" is shown in the P partition. Does it mean it is already used or it is "allocated" in case the 24GB-RAM is low? I don't understand the concept of pagefile. What should I putfor the minimum and maixmum sizes of the pagefile configuration if the server has 24GB of RAM and a paging partition of 95GB of disk space?Thanks.
