Hi,
Running EV 2007 SP4. I've been having a few issues with Email archiving over the few weeks where the storage service isn't stopping correctly when going into read-only or write mode. Happened about 4 times in the last 3 weeks, meaning journaling doesn't run correclty. Yesterday however I had another issue where the email server suddenly started going really slow. I think it was related to the storage service cos while the journal task was running, it wasn't actually doing anything. Attempts to restart the services failed, it couldn't stop the storage service. Several reboots later, it came good. I had to do this from another server and connect management remotely, as the EV server was effectively unresponsive. No CPU utilisation, memory was ok, so no idea why it was slow.
When I rechecked it that night, all services had stopped cos c: ran out of space. I cleaned some stuff out and got it running again. Investigating today, I've found about 40GB of temp files in the profile of the admin user, labelled "EV$3D.tmp" "EV$8C2.tmp" etc - there's 200+ of them, each around 354MB. They were created when the issues started yesterday afternoon, about 10 per minute. Not sure of their contents, they don't open in wordpad.
What are these files? Can I delete them?
There's also a crap load of "ExchangePerflog_8484fa31f45a2102a0c4d109.dat" type files of 1k each, not sure why these are here...
Thanks,
Cam.
