System Volume Information folder
in [Microsoft Exchange]
|
From: SP_1 on 9 Jun 2010 19:17 Hi Our Exchange Server 2003 SP2 is running on Windows Server 2003 SP1. Six weeks ago, the C drive has about 115GB free space. Now, it has about 15GB. This is rather unusual because the server has never consumed so much space so fast. I checked on various folders and found that the bulk of space used is in the System Volume Information folder. There are 7 files totalling 150GB. The filenames are 78{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752} to 84{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}. The first one dated 6/5/10 (which was 5 days ago). So, the server is either running pretty low or out of space soon. How did this happen ? And, how can I resolve this ? Thanks Steve

That folder holds lots of stuff, none of related to Exchange. Distributed Link Tracking Service databases for repairing your shortcuts and linked documents. Content Indexing Service databases for fast file searches. Information used by the Volume Snapshot Service (also known as "Volume Shadow Copy") so you can back up files on a live system. There's more, but you should really be asking this question in one of the O/S forums. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

From: SP_1 on 10 Jun 2010 17:51 Hi again Strange as it may seem, today the System Volume Information folder is basically free of the huge GB files. The C drive now has the 150GB free space back. fyi Steve "SP_1" <none(a)web.com> wrote in message news:eaSHuIECLHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Thanks for the info. > > I'll check other forums. > > Steve > > > "Rich Matheisen [MVP]" <richnews(a)rmcons.com.NOSPAM.COM> wrote in message > news:rle016hglfhu9nvti47c1gh1f2f2kfh3nh(a)4ax.com... >> On Wed, 9 Jun 2010 13:17:08 -1000, "SP_1" <none(a)web.com> wrote: >> >>>Our Exchange Server 2003 SP2 is running on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
