An HFSX volume can be case sensitive or case insensitive. Case sensitivity (or lack thereof) is global to the volume. The setting applies to all file and directory names on the volume. To determine whether an HFSX volume is
Note: Do not assume that an HFSX volume is case sensitive. Always use Disk Utility to determine case sensitivity or case insensitivity. Additionally, don’t assume your third- party software solutions work correctly with case sensitivity.

About Hard Disk Partitioning
The minimum recommended size for an installation partition is 10 GB. A much larger volume is recommended for a configuration that keeps shared folders and group websites on the startup volume together with the server software.
Partitioning the hard disk creates a volume for server system software and additional volumes for data and other software. Partitioning erases previous contents of the disk.
Erasing a disk is another way of saying that you have given a disk a single volume partition and erased that volume.
Consider dedicating a hard disk or a volume of a partitioned hard disk to server software. Put additional software, share points, websites, and so forth on other disks or volumes. With this approach, you can upgrade or reinstall the server software without affecting your other software or user data. If you must store additional software or data on the system volume, consider mirroring it to another drive.
∏∏ Tip: Having an extra, empty partition or two on the target installation disk can give you additional flexibility in installation and deployment. For example, additional space can give you a place to temporarily mirror your current installation before performing an
