Hi ,
 
Have a strange one here...
 
We have Exchange 2003 running on 2 server in a cluster :
 
server A holds the exchange roles and cluster groups
 
Server B holds a huge data drive that holds PST files
 
Both servers attach to a fibre channel SAN for the drives
 
 
We are getting the Data drive reporting that no space is available when
their is 21 GB available.
 
When I fail the data drive to server A the drive appears and shows the
full 21 GB free and all is well again.
 
If I fail back the drive will also be fine.
 
It is reporting no space randomly.
 
Against my better judgment the Drive was compressed quite a while ago
but then more space was added from the free space available on the SAN.
 
Not sure if this last piece of info is relevant.
 
Any ideas were to even start as there doesn't seem to be any information
in the event logs.
 
thanks in advance
 
Ronnie
