Exchange 2010 - Cant mount database
This is Exchange 2010 SP1. I have a 250GB mailbox database that dismounted earlier this morning and I don't know why. I tried to mount it and received the error below. I put the server in safe mode and I ran a "eseutil /mh" and it said the database was in a dirty shutdown. I tried the normal methods of eseutil to repair the database, but I ended up having to use the /p (hard repair). The database now shows that it is in a clean shutdown state, but I still can't mount it and I get the error below.
I can't seem to get isinteg to work either using the command "isinteg -s exchange -fix -test - alltest". I run that command and it just returns the output below. I read that isinteg is no longer necessary in Exchange 2010 SP1, but I thought I should still be able to use it if I want to right?
isinteg output:

Mount database error:
--------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------
Failed to mount database 'Database2'.
Database2
Failed
Error:
Database 'Database2' can't be mounted on server 'EXCHANGE.domain.local' due to a previous error: At '10/30/2011 1:07:21 AM' the Exchange store database 'Database2' copy on this server appears to be inconsistent with the active database copy or is corrupted. For more details about the failure, consult the Event log on the server for other storage and "ExchangeStoreDb" events. A successful failover restored service.
Verify that the underlying cause of the error has been corrected before attempting to mount the database. The error can be ignored and the mount allowed if Mount-Database is reissued with the -Force switch.

What about the isinteg part? is isinteg completely obsolete in Exchange2010? What do you do to reclaim the white space/srhink the db from moved mailboxes, etc?

I am able to mount the database now using the -force switch. If I dismount it and try to mount it again I have to use the -force switch each time. I can remove the log files and that will probably fix the issue.
How do I claim back the white space on the database?

That's a typo not webfile database file..
No need of using force switch everytime.
