what program(s) do u use to manage, resize, and defrag them(partitions) all?

 

[drizzt81]

So, what's the cat's name?

We call here Chewie for two reasons: 1) Because she has enough fur to pass for a wookie, and 2) because she likes to chew on things. Hasn't found 120V AC yet, thankfully

Destroyer of Computer fans?

Actually, she hangs on to her fur. My fat cat sheds quite a bit more. Enough about the cat.

why 5 million small media partitions?

When you use the MS Dynamic Disk system to expand a volume on the fly, the amount of space you add will show up as a separate volume in the disk management console, even though the volume appears as one unit with one file system to the operating system

what program(s) do u use to manage, resize, and defrag them(partitions) all?

All the boxes are rolled into an Active Directory Domain, allowing me to use the Disk Management snap in to manage the partitions/volumes from any box in the domain. A single administrator logon allows me to manage disks anywhere in the War Room. However, the disk defragmenter snap in does not allow defragmenting remote disks, only local ones. Anybody know something that can work around this limitation?

As I said in the Terabayte Club post, that drive is for videos I take of church kids.

no offense, but that just sounds so wrong. Thanks to all the child molester priests for fscking up my mind.

Thanks for the info on the partitions.
Is that disk management snap in the one you get with compmgmt.msc, just connected to a remote PC?

Great, now when I say church kids, everybody thinks kiddie porn

Thanks for the info on the partitions.

Correct, once you open compmgmt.msc MMC snap in, you can connect to a remote computer. Couple of gotchas: XP machines can manage XP and 2003 boxes. 2000 boxes need to have a hotfix applied before they can be managed from XP boxes. Also, all the boxes in question need a common security authority and you need to have appropriate privileges on the target machine. You see in the second screenshot that I can supply the name of any box in the domain.
