Any recommendations on virtual file servers?

Hi,

I am looking at migrating our existing physical file servers to virtual servers on Hyper-V.

Essentially on our physical boxes we created a 2 drive mirror for the OS, and lumped everything else together into a RAID5/6 array and created a single volume from this and started using it!

This does have its issues... for example AV scans and chkdsk...

I was wondering if anyone had any insight or best practices on how they lay their virtual file servers out?

I know historically Hyper-V had a 2040GB size limit of VHD, but now with VHDX that has disappeared...

We use DFS so having multiple targets or VHD's is not a problem as we can abstract this in the DFS namespace...

Any thoughts?
