NAS 2000s Administration Guide
If defragmenting volumes on which shadow copies are enabled, use a cluster (or allocation
unit) size of 16 KB or larger during the format. Otherwise defragmentation registers as a
change by the Shadow Copy process. This increase in the number of changes forces Shadow
Copy to delete snapshots as the limit for the cache file is reached.
Caution:
Allocation unit size cannot be altered without reformatting the drive. Data on a
reformatted drive cannot be recovered.
Note:
NTFS compression is supported only if the cluster size is 4 KB or smaller.
Managing Disks After Quick Restore
After a Quick Restore, drive letters may be assigned to the wrong volume. Windows Storage
Server 2003 assigns drive letters after the restoration in the order of discovery. To help
maintain drive letter information, placing the drive letter into the volume label is
recommended. To change the drive letters to the appropriate ones, go into Disk Management
and perform the following steps for each volume.
1. Right-click the on the volume that needs to be changed.
2. Select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
3. In the Change Drive Letter and Paths dialog box, select Change.

click OK.
