In another posting I mentioned I have Exchange where several databases are sitting in one partition. I was losing a LOT of disk space from all the daily accumulation of transaction logs. I moved all the logs away to a much bigger partition and this finally stemmed the loss of disk space.........or so I thought.
There is still enough whitespace within the databases and public folder database. I know this because I see the Event 1221 every day. The EDB and STM files have not changed in size. My message tracking is set to 99 days but everyday I manually MOVE the old logs away to somewhere else. Volume Shadow Copy service runs on the server but Shadow Copies is not turned on for any of the partitions. They are all disabled. The Queue and Badmail directories are empty. I don't use Full Indexing
So in reality I shouldn't lose anything but I still do lose tiny bits of space per day. Maybe several hundred MB. Over the course of a week I might lose a half a gig or slightly more. Over several weeks that adds up to several gigs. I take snapshots of all the directory sizes and do not see ANY change whatsoever, except for the Exchange.logs folder, and yet I am still leaking free space.
Can anybody tell me why this is happening? Is Exchange accumulating something that I cannot see???? I don't get it
