If you're not doing it on the same array I would guess about 8-12 hours.

Depends on your Hardware.  My 36 gig Priv.edb takes about 3 1/2 hours
total to defrag offline.  It's located on a Dell 2650, 4 x 1.8 ghz
processors, 2 gigs of ram.

        Exchange 2003 SP1. It does an online defrag regularly. The bloat
happened in the span of two days. I have pretty much come to the
conclusion that an offline defrag is in order, and will be performing
that this weekend. 

         

        Anyone have a guess on how long it will take to defrag a 90GB
mailbox store?

        What version of Exchange is this and how long has it been since
you've done a defrag?  I've seen white space get pretty big before too.

        You can set the dumpster at the database level to not retain
deleted items so that should help alleviate some of the burden of mass
deletions when you impose a mandatory mailbox limit. The warning is that
this will eliminate the recover deleted items function.

        We just started to implement mailbox limits and everyone started
deleting mail The store grew to the point that the drive filled and the
store unmounted.

        I know what to do to fix, but does anyone know of ANY documents
on why this happens? Would be greatly appreciated.

                As far as I know, deleted items do count against the
limit

                Deleted items will increase the size of the store and
are not counted against the user limits?

                http://www.MSExchangeorg/

                Somehow one of my mailbox stores grew 89GB over the
weekend. There are only 373 users with mailbox limits of 100MB which
means that theoretically there should only be around 37GB max. It
doesn't really make any sense and I don't even know where to start to
find what is causing the bloat and how to fix it. Any ideas?
