Wow. That was a very thorough post. Kudos to Lew. Don't hang me (or flame me) for this, but some Microsoft based speculation. Assuming Multi-tasking servers, no matter the OS, are always busy and drive read heads always seeking, are utilities like Executive Software's Diskeeper Utility (for Windows servers) just a scam? I have some customers who had software vendors tout this stuff to be nearly as important as anti-virus software. GS
