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?

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?
