I understand that in cluster configurations only basic partitions / disks are allowed. In Sql Server installations, do dynamic partitions suffer from worse performance that basic ones ? Also, is 64k a preferred stripe size for RAID ?
Best to go with SYSMON in this case, but if the SQL is not able to see the partition then no use of using dynamic partiion. http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/perftune/archive/2007/10/16/2488.aspx on second one.
