ISSUE:

Improving Performance of a NetWare Lite Server

Fragmented files on the hard disk drive of a server can adversely
affect performance.  It is suggested that you periodically unfragment
the files on the hard disk drive of each server.  This can be done
using any of a number of disk optimizing or disk compression tools
available in the market place.

                         *****  WARNING  *****

Make sure the server is not running when this type of operation is
done! Never run any low-level disk repair utilities on the hard disk
drive of the server while the SERVER is loaded.  This can cause
corruption of data stored on the hard disk drive.  This includes
CHKDSK /F, disk-doctor utilities, and disk-optimizing utilities. 
Low-level utilities can only be run directly on the server machine. 
You cannot run them from clients that have a drive mapped to the
server.
