Yes, you are. :-) What's doing the thrashing? Is it Outlook itself or is it the Search service?
If it's the search service, then either disable it (if you don't use it) or upgrade to Windows Search 4.0. Available from microsoft.com/downloads. Note that a 5 GB PST will take "a while" to index for search. If it's Outlook doing the little I/O's, I'd check out your add-ins and see if any of them need upgrading. What you are experiencing is not typical. ________________________________________ From: Phillip Partipilo [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 2:10 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Outlook 2007, constant hard disk thrashing. Upgrading from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007. I went through the SP2 update, where it thrashes your PST file for a while, upgrading it to a newer format. Then upon opening each folder, it thrashed some more where it indexed the file. That's all fine and dandy. But as long as Outlook 2007 is open, the hard disk is being constantly thrashed. Filemon shows massive access to the PST, in little chunks, 512 bytes and 4096 bytes. Non-stop thrashing. Never did that in 2003. Sure my PST file is about 5 gigs, but 2003 never did this. Another beauty - sometimes, it just closes. No error thrown, no events logged, it's just not there anymore. Am I going insane here? Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.
