With SQL2000 configured with MSCS, we had to stop the SQL service to add additional disk in the SQL Cluster group (in order to use these disks for databases for example).. this was due to the dependencies between the resources.
Do we still have the same issue with SQL2005 running on the cluster? Does the new mountpoint support help in this scenario?
Thanks

Yes, the same issue does exist with SQL Server 2005 when adding disks. The new mountpoint support does not really help in this scenario as the mountpoint disk should also be added as a dependent disk to the resource group. It is possible to add the mountpoint without adding the disk to the resource group, but in that case the loss of the disk would not be detected by the cluster service; the SQL Server would attempt to continue running even without the disk (and mountpoint).
