- 33. some create multiple data files because you can have multiple disks doing their job for you *only supported on filegroup
- 34. some create multiple data files because you can have multiple disks doing their job for you *I usually start with data files
- 35. some move database files OUT of the system partition because your system partition is already doing something else
- 36. some use RAID 10 for better protection & write performance
- 37. some physically* separate MDF from LDF because they have different access patterns *your may tell you otherwise
- 38. some format the LUNs* with 64K clusters because SQL Server works in 64K chunks *for both &
- 39. some pre-size MDF/NDF and LDF files because you don’t want your storage to work harder
- 40. some make all file & autogrowth sizes EQUAL because SQL Server uses the proportional fill algorithm

- 58. what happens if it gets FULL?
- 59. what happens if it gets FULL? it GROWS we’re assuming autogrowth is configured

- 62. when it it has to ZERO out the file
- 63. when it it has to ZERO out the file which also means that transactions are waiting for the autogrowth process to complete before they can continue
- 64. when the disk containing the log (LDF) file gets full, the database automatically becomes read-only even

- 66. can we AVOID this
