...Wasn't this sort of how SQL 6 and 6.5 worked? At least if I remember correctly those two (and I assume 4.2) bypassed the OS for IO functions and managed those themselves. ...
Yep. Same for 7 IIRC. 2000 objects if it's data or log files are compressed via NTFS. I think that this might still be true for 2005.
Ah well. So much for the Dyson Principle: "I just think that things should work properly."
