I want to add another hard drive to the computer that is serving files.
I don't want to get rid of the drive that's in there, I want to "add to it".
In ISS it gives me the choice of "home directory". I'm sure I can't choose
two different drives.
How can I add another drive and pick up where it leaves off, ie, span the
two together. I this possible? I have an 80 gig that's almost filled and I
want to add a 120 gig, so I want my home directory to be able to "see" 200
gigs.
Any suggestions? |

Everything to do with IIS...
It is strongly suggested that you move your entire site(s) to the second
harddrive so that the extra work is done on the second drive instead of your
O/S drive. You should see an increase in speed of access to your site(s),
and you won't need any virtual directories. You should partition your
second harddrive and move your Page file to the second drive and put it in
it's own partition, depending on the size of your Page File and the amount
of Ram you have.

Not really. Its a disk management issue. IIS doesn't do disk
management, its a web server.

Refer to this KB article for details on how to extend a volume :

Nothing to do with IIS
If you have a RAID controller that supports RAID 0 (striping), you can do
this. Alternatively, if you have dynamic disks (within Windows Disk
Management), I believe you can crate a RAID 0 array.
Otherwise, all you can do is add a "virtual directory" underneath your home
directory, and point this to your second drive, eg:
http://localhost/ <- points to location on c: drive
http://localhost/additional/ <- points to location on d: drive

No, nothing to do with IIS.
He wanted to be able to *extend* his initial partition (on his first disk),
so that it encompassed both disks. IIS doesn't do that. You can do it
(sometimes) with Windows, or you need a disk controller (eg a RAID
controller) that supports RAID 0 (disk striping)

IIS won't let you manage disks, won't extend a partition and won't do
quotas, so I can't see where you came to that conclusion.

Except for moving files that happen to be used by IIS, you haven't
posted anything IIS related either. You won't see any increase in
speed, and your suggestions for the page file don't make sense in his
case, but for the reasons you'll need to check a relevant group since
those aren't IIS related either.
