By doing so my database size reduced to 9Gb from 28 GB Offline defrag terminated automaticaly with this error "1108_errInTransaction_operation_not_allowed_within_a_transaction" not sure why. I tried search for solution but could not find relavent info. I was running out of time so i choose to move the mailbox insted.

This is lot simpler than offline defrag. This will have down time of average 10 Min per mailbox. recently I tried to do off line defrag and it terminated after reaching 90%, i wasted nearly 2 hours, then i had to move the mailboxes to a new store, luckily i had a free store.

I need to perform off-line defrags of 4 separate storage groups. If you dismount one, do you have to dismount all of them? Meaning can I be running the defrag on one storage group and give folks access to the store group that is not having the ESEutil run against it?
