All, when calculating required disk space for off-line defrag should you subtract the free space reported by 1221 from the database size. Moved 50% of mail onto new server so got 6gig to reclaim from 12gig database with 60ish MEG free space avail to OS. Cheers......
 
I believe I read somewhere on this board that the Exchange defrag requires the amount of space the database takes up, in free space. So a 12gb database would require 12gb free for it to work.

I could be wrong but that would make sense.
