Things that increase the size over raw message byte count: 1. database overhead 2. whitespace - you can see how much in the nightly online maintenance event log entries. 3. duplication of data - in some cases data exists in both STM and EDB.
Things that reduce the size below raw message byte count: 1. single-instance-storage 2. compression of RTF message bodies in the EDB file ======================================== ERM (Exchange Resource Manager) Released http://www.swinc.com/erm ======================================== -----Original Message----- From: Rob Hackney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Monday, June 09, 2003 11:10 AM Posted To: Microsoft Exchange Conversation: Priv1.edb and stm Subject: Priv1.edb and stm Hi, Exch 2k on sbs2k - all SP'd up I had a little scare earlier on with a simultaneous virus alert on one user and a disk space warning from my server which turned out to be totally unconnected however while I was trouble shooting a noticed a couple of odd things: 1) disk space on the server was decreasing rapidly from 8gb > 7.5 > 6.5 gb in the space of about 5 mins - anyone experienced this before? 2) my priv1.edb is @ 7.2 gb while the stm file was at 2.9gb. I looked at my users mailboxes and the total size of their mailboxes was under 6gb. Why would the the two priv files be more than my users mailboxes if the edb + stm = information store? I'm probably missing something here as I'm still pretty new to exch2k?
