How large should I make the physical disk resource for an MSDTC cluster?

    We are changing the MSDTC configuration on a server, electing to use a dedicated drive. MSDTC creates a 4MB log file so I know the carved out SAN space needs to be at least 4MB. How much disk space do you typically assign for MSDTC Physical Disk? 50MB?

    Thanks, Dave

    not aware of a definitive recommendation from MS, but all the info I have ever seen suggests small, about 500MB - 1GB. not much point going really small.

    Never had a problem running at that size.

    Typically I have seen them be about 1Gb. No real recommendation either.
