Hi,
I request your advice for DB size growing issue
i have over 5500 users (migrated from 2003 server) in a single 2010 SP2 DB. My SAN volume where DB is located having 454 GB total space and the DB has grown to 414 GB now and since yesterday i started moving mailboxes to another DB ( 110 GB SSD HDD) as we do not have lack of SAN volumes. But still i see the database is growing quickly even though i have moved 16 GB of mailboxes to another DB mentioned before. During the past 24 hrs the DB has grown by 5 GB and i am afraid that i will run out of space soon. When i did a periodic check today for available white space it shows maximum 110 MB and the database keep growing. As you can see the report below the database is growing , the second DB is where i am moving mailboxes. I have enabled back ground maintenance for both DB and enabled circular logging to truncate the logs
