Lots of unaccounted space on my exchange 2007 store drive
THe drive that my exchange store is located on is filling up very fast. Like 4 - 5 gigs a day. My mailbox databases are not getting bigger. I ran a tool called windirstat and it is showing there is 133 gigs used and like 97% full. THe drive itself is 202 gigs big. So I have a lot of space unaccounted for. I am thinking a defrag is in order, but i am not exactly sure how to do that. Should I run an offline defrag on the mailbox databases? Should I just run a windows defrag on the whole drive? THanks

No its white space. Log files are good.

Ok I ran treesize and found the system volume folder is taking up 64 gigs of space. Is that normal?

For whatever reason the shadow copies from the C drive are storing on the E drive. I am going to disable them as soon as our backup finishes. Hopefully this works.
Let us know how it goes.

Hey!!!! it worked!! I have 63 gigs of free space! This has been a pain in the ass for me for the last year. Thanks a lot for your help!!!
Glad to be of assistance.
Offline Defrag wouldnt make any sense until we have more than 20+% white space according to me so whats the data
