Correct.
Your Priv.EDB will now contain a fair amount of white space. The actual file
size reported by your OS will be the same. You will need to run an offline
defrag to remove white space from your database if you need to recover the
disk space.
In the meantime, exchange will populate the white space in the database.
Not sure about the rest of you, but when I was an exch admin we scheduled
outages periodically to do maintenance such as this. I have never known an
exch 5.5 box to stay up 24/7 indefinitely.
Best to do some maintenance when you want, rather than when the panic button
is pressed.

Online defrag was successful. It said some 3000Mb (3Gb) were recovered, but
the EDB file is still 16gb. It has been running for a couple of days now
and the EDB file is still 16Gb, so maybe exchange is using the 3Gb it
recovered for new mails. Correct?
We will be moving to Exch 2k Enterprise soon to avoid these limits...

Check the event viewer for Online Defrag info. It will
tell you how much space was left after the last online
defrag. That's the amount of space you would recover
with an offline defrag.
