ESEUTIL IS HUNG UP

[SerialCoder]

I had to run eseutil /d to free up space. It's been running for 4 hours and has not moved past 3%. I yave been watching the temp files and they have not grown at since the first 15 minutes.

Does anyone know if I can kill this process without killing my store?

No, I did not copy the edb's and stm's first. Opps.

How much space was in whitespace? Did you make sure you had enough drive space for the defrag?

I think it's time to call PSS, because I think you're going to lose some data if you abort.

I have over 100 Gigs in freespace. I'm not sure that is it.

The more I think about this.....

If it's already created the temp db files, then it's only READING the existing .edb and .stm files. So, IN THEORY, you could abort the eseutil without damage to your database.

That is kind of what I was thinking as well. As I sat pondering, the temp files grew from 4.90 GB to 6.56GB and then hung again. I checked the task manager and see that eseutil is using 390 of the systems 512MB of ram but us not using any processor at them moment. Just sitting there.

I think I may go home and then check back in a few hours to see if it wakes up. If I can avoid killing it I will.
Then a reboot and (It's been up for 60+ days) some exmerge on the mailboxes.

Know any methods for freeing ram on the fly?
