Matt, you actually need more than the database size. Say, 1.2 times. You can use network connected disk space to do the offline defrag. Might take awhile depending on network speed. Or even attach a larger drive to your system for temp storage.

I know to do an offline defrag you need space equal to the databases to perform this function. Currently databases are 6 gb and 1 gb with only 1.5 gb free disk space remaining. Store pegs cpu at 100% every 2 days. A reboot takes care of cpu for the next 2 days. Databases are not growing at increased rate. disabled av sw. Big problem. Biggest problem for trouble shooting for us is it takes 2 days for the store service to consume cpu. Usually my next step would be to replace databases with new ones to see if they are the problem as per MS. But I can't do this for 2 days or more. Need better Ideas.
