Well IIRC /p is a hard repair whilst /d is for defrag. If you have a
working, mountable store that you want to defrag you don't need the /p
switch.
Anyone got any comment?

OK, so I have scheduled a window this weekend to run an offline defrag
of the mailbox store. Now I am looking for the best way to do this, and
since this list seems to have more/better experience with Exchange than
the Exchange list, I am looking for comments.
Here are the steps I am planning on taking:
1. Full backup of "General" store
2. Dismount "General" store
3. > eseutil /d /p F:\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\General.edb
*Is it a good idea to use the /p switch (I have enough
space)
**If using the /p switch, what is the mounting procedure
for the new DB?
4. Full backup of new DB
Any comments are very welcome, and appreciated.
