I've got a bit of a mystery on one of my servers that I can't quite peg -
hoping perhaps someone here might be able to help me figure out where my
space went on my server... or at least suggest something to check
Details:
Proliant 350
4 x 36gb drives in one RAID 5 array = ~108gb usable space
Windows Server 2003 (no service pack) installed as a member server
Exchange 2003 Std. Service Pack 1
Windows reports 60GB used of my 108 total with 48gb remaining
I was pretty surprised when I noticed this. My details are as follows when
I audit the drive space.
If I just select all files in the C: folder and do properties, it comes up
as 16GB used space. Yes I have the view set to show all hidden and OS
files.
Windows Folder = 2gb
Page File = 2gb
Exchange Folder = 10gb (may max up to 14gb near the end of the day before
Full backup runs and logs are flushed)
Remainder of stuff in c:\program files = ~230mb
Misc. Install Folder I have on the drive (exch srv, service pack, os image)
= 1.7gb
That's it.
So this comes up pretty near to the 16gb reported when I just do a select
all > properties from the root. The Proliant Management Page also reports:
64161 Used, 40014 Free of 104175 Total (Which is close to what windows is
reporting).
I forget what the default cluster size was that I used when I set the array
up, but unless I made them 5mb (sarcasm) I can't see how ~44 GB are missing
in action.
When I do a full back up on the system (veritas 9.1) the backup job is 15 GB.
This box jut sits, nobody logs into it, no web browsing is done from it, it i behind a firewall using a non routable IP, windows updates are turned off.
Thx!
