I have an IIS7 server with 3 TB of data on drive D, which is 10 TB in size. I need to reclaim as much of that unused space as possible, and simply shrinking the volume will not free up enough. What I have done is copied the contents of D to a smaller partition assigned drive F:
The wrinkle here is that there are search index files (from a 3rd party indexing program) within the 1000's of directories that reference drive D, so what I was hoping to do was change the existing D drive to G, and change the smaller F drive to D.
Will the drive letter automatically change in IIS (hopefully not as I want the path references to D to remain), or does IIS not care what I do with the drive letters, and will look for the data in whatever partition is curently assigned D:?
