I am not going that way. I am not adding any gasoline (except for my
car), no large fire but let me be dancing. -----Original
Message----- Just for good measure...
you're going to find that the majority of us do not recommend running edbutil
unless you have a serious emergency issue. The recommended solution is to
add some more disks... and maybe reconsider your mailbox limits. If you
do decide to run a defrag... you are going to need to have 52 gigs of space
available for the temp file. It is HIGHLY recommended this space be on
another array on the same box. You can map a drive to another server with
available space... however all you're doing is adding a ton of gasoline to the
already large fire your dancing naked in. Preston Craig Jeffares Network Engineer Georgia Department of

Message----- That was an excellent explanation. I got the hang of
it now.. Add couple of disks, grab the sleeping bag and the bible. Sounds good
to me. Thanks to all exchange gurus. -----Original
Message----- No the
online defrag is happening... but it does not reduce the size of the
store. It just cleans up the whitespace and does basic
housekeeping. If it says you have 8 gigs of free space... then that means
you can pile 8 gigs of data into the store before it starts growing again.
I.E. your priv.edb is 52 gigs... but it currently only contains 44 gigs of used
space and 8 gigs of white. Once the 8 gigs of white are gone... the store
will grow beyong 52 gigs. If you deleted every mailbox tomorrow... your
priv.edb would still be 52 gigs... with 52 gigs of whitespace. -----Original
Message----- Thanks for all your suggestions. Does that mean,
automatic defrag is not happening? -----Original
Message----- High 5
back to ya! ;o) -----Original
Message----- Woohoo! High-5!! -----Original
Message----- You
determine if the downtime you will incur is worth recovering the 8GB.
Basically, you need to go check your application log for Event ID 1221 to see
how much free space the online defrag has given you. Once that is
determined, you then decided how valuable that disk space is. Keep in
mind that with a 54GB array and 2GB free that means you have an approximate DB
size of 52GB. That means quite a few hours (6-12) of downtime to
recover it. Personally,
I'd install another disk in your array and leave it alone, but that's me... -----Original
Message----- Hello, I know there were lots of discussions on this subject
some time back. I have read all postings relating to ESEUTIL from Scott, Kevin,
William and Don. My problem is I have an array of 54 GB on an exchange
enterprise 5.5 on NT. Last month I had a free space of 2.68 GB, since then I
have got all big mailboxes archived on to CD's/DVD's. As per my calculations, at
least 8 GB was freed up. But it still shows 2.68 GB free space for last one
month. What do I do now? Thanks Mal List Charter
