Separate Transact logs?   

Hey Guys,
  Does it make sense to separate the Transact logs to a 
separate partition on the shared storage or is it just as 
well left in the mdbdata directory?  And if I do move 
them, should I also move the system path location?
Thanks,
Dan

You REALLY, REALLY ought to have a seperate physical drive set for the 
transaction logs.

At the very least, and for SMTP (if that traffic is large or you want to cut 
down on fragmentation), MTA, MSDTC (just kidding), and Quorum :)

Cheers,
