Hello,
I currently have my M: drive on a partition that is starting to run out of space. Basically, I'm wondering if there is any relatively painless way to move it to another partition with more space? Thanks.

The m: drive is just an external mapping that points to the information store. Microsoft recommends you disable it now. You can move the store using system manager altering the path in the Store properties page under the database tab. You need to keep the edb and the stm files together when moving. Services will be stopped while the databases are being relocated. It is automatic and relatively painless, not like moving the 5.5 store.
