ESE PRIV1.edb is at the max of 15G

Cannot mount Storage volume due to 15g limit

Have tried to use eseutil to defrag to gain space.  eseutil failed due to not enough disk space.  only 12 G left on 55 g drive.

1 - should i use the disk cleanup option to compress old files and gain up to 8g of space?

2 - how much space do I need to use the eseutil to defrag a 15g drive?

3 - I have 25g of log files in the mdbdata folder dating back to 04/24/04.  Can any of these be deleted for space?

4 - How do I get answer notification with my email down.

Have started the eseutil with the temp files directed to a network server with plenty of space.  The Microsoft KB articales have given me some help.

would still like to know about the *.log files in the mdbdata folder

I have started the eseutil as you suggested.

On flushing the log files, how do you do that after the defrag is finished.  Does the backup routine do this.  I am using veritas 9.1 with the exchange agent.  Is there a setting in the backup exchange settings. or is the backup a prelim to flushing from within system mgr for exchange

I see the setting in veritas, I have been using the copy selection and not the full selection which flushes the logs.


Microsoft KB 255035 talks about the network drive for the temp files, but it also mentions an error msg that results with the defraged file and that the log files will need to be "relocated" can you elaborate?

By the way, Thanks for your excellent help so far!!!!!!

A BIG Thanks to jodypeet for your help during last night's eseutil marathon.

I was able to mount the storage volume after the defrag and then I was able to delete to get control again.

Thanks to Colinroyds for the tempfix KB
