Hi @scirocc ,

You can make tables on another volume using `IN VOLUME`: [CREATE TABLE reference | QuestDB](https://questdb.io/docs/reference/sql/create-table/#table-target-volume)

Running out of disk whilst ingesting data can cause bad symptoms, so avoid it at all costs!

Also, if you are deploying QuestDB in a production use case, we usually recommend a Linux deployment over Windows, where possible.
