Okay, maybe it's not yelling, but it warning me that:
The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected a condition requiring your attention. Drives are at risk of running out of free space.
Available drive space is less than five times the value of physical memory. This is dangerous because it does not provide enough room for a full memory dump with continued operation. It also could cause problems with the Virtual Memory swap file: OS ( C:\),
Logs (D:\), Data (E:\).
Examine the failing servers and delete old logs or free space on the drives.
There are couple of things that alarm me about this:
1. I'm not using Sharepoint. It's installed, sure, but it's not configured and I am uncertain it will ever be deployed.
2. I have my drives allocated as follows:
C:\ and E:\ are on a RAID 5.
D:\ is on a mirrored pair (RAID 1)
D:\ is a TINY disc. It only holds about two days worth of Exchange transaction logs which is removed after nightly backup. So, why does Sharepoint care about that particular drive's free-space? (I also don't have a lot of space on that particular
mirrored pair so increasing the size to five times physical ram (60GB) is nothing to sneeze at.
How seriously do I need to take these messages? I don't mind increasing the free space on the other disks. Is there a way to stop Sharepoint from worrying about the Logs disk?
