Mark,
Sorry for repeating the tip but did you try playing with the NTFS's MFT
Reservation?
I wonder if the reserved clusters you mentioned above are for MFT.
If so, you can tweak it using fsutil tool or through the registry:
Key [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
Value NtfsMftZoneReservation of DWORD type (1 to 4) allows you to
specify
MFT Zone for the newly created/formatted volumes (12.5
percent, 25 percent, 37.5 percent, 50 percent of NTFS volume
accordingly).
Some more info you can find here:

I tried to be selective about the groups I posted, and re-wrote the
message
for each group. I could have sprayed. I also could have been more
efficient, or more polite, or whatever. I was simply hoping to ask a
broader range of people without stepping on too many toes.
The best answer I've gotten so far is that ASP.NET likes to reserve
clusters
for decompressing files. Why it reserves 100mb for decompressing 6mb
of
webpages into 8mb, or 16mb of compiled webpages into 20mb, is
unanswered.
It might simply be "because". Just like Windows Backup requires 300mb
free
space. "Because." Now, Windows Backup is tweeked to require only
100mb
free space. Maybe ASP.NET will be tweeked as well.

Mark,
Multiplying same posting at different News Groups is very bad idea
since
it will irritate peoples that read them all.
You can post one message to all news groups at once so they are
linked
together.
This way you will have to check only one NG for answers.
All people will download only once post instead for each NG
separately.
We all can see what people from other NG suggested and give our
comments
as well. (So you have bigger range of different answers)
Probably there are other benefits for all that I can't remember at
the
moment.

Slobodan
Thanks. I'm posting in several other groups.
I've heard that Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) doesn't work on
compressed
NFTS. Any one else heard this?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251186/EN-US/
Quoting:
If you run a program that uses transaction logging and that
constantly
writes to a database or log, configure the program to store its
files
on a
volume that is not compressed. If a program modifies data through
mapped
sections in a compressed file, the program can produce "dirty"
pages
faster
than the mapped writer can write them. Programs such as Microsoft
Message
Queuing (also known as MSMQ) do not work with NTFS compression
because
of
this issue.
Well, MSMQ core is in my image, required by DotNET framework.
Maybe
its not
being used, or maybe there is some connection.

On my XPe system, the file system is EWF RAM Reg compressed
NTFS
in
470mb
partition on 512mb Compact Flash. When ASP.NET webpages are
accessed,
the
NTFS "Total Reserved" space grows to fill the entire file
system.
What are these reserved clusters and why is IIS and ASP.NET
using
them?
If you stop IIS and delete the ASP.NET temp files (compiled
webpages),
the
reserved space is sometimes released. The ASP.NET temp files
are
quite
small (5mb) and deleting them can free 120mb reserved space.
But,
this
doesn't always free the reserved space.
If you commit and restart, the reserved space in the file
system
always
in
released.
I have tried running with EWF disabled and it behaves the
same.
Is there a good forum to ask NTFS questions?
