Hi,

RMS is simply pointing out that a cluster size of 512 bytes (standard for
system drive on NT 4.0) is suboptimal. You can turn this warning off.

If you don't mind going to a bit of extra trouble, converting your system
partition to 6-8 GB NTFS (clustersize 4K) will give you significantly better
system performance.

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [THIN] Server Cluster Size


RMS summary on our Citrix Servers states:

"The cluster size used in formatting drive C is too small. This is causing
reduced disk performance"

What needs to be done? Is this a major concern?
