| okay, so hopefully this is simple. i have a db i have to restore, problem is, server THINKS there's not enough space.my server is setup like this:C: OSD: SQLD:\DRIVES\DISK1D:\DRIVES\DISK2D:\DRIVES\DISK3DB is spanned across disk 1/2/3. so the server is calculating free space on d:\ thinking that's the disk everything does, when in reality, the mount points are on 3 separate disks. any way to override the free space check when restoring dbs? |
