Big prob! E:\ is not accessible. There is not enough space on the

[Aws]

Hi All…

I am running a production Windows Server 2003 SP2 on C:\ with Exchange 2003
installed on E:\ when the E:\ drive was full in the morning and has 0 bytes
free space!

I tried to free and delete or move some files but they appear shortly after
I do that again and no changes in the size appeared. After restarting the
sever, I start to get this error:

E:\ is not accessible.

There is not enough space on the disk.

Also the Exchange services and some other service couldn’t start. This drive
E:\ has all the Information Store and the files!!!

Any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks

Hey, I know this is an old thread but I had the same issue and could not fin
the fix anywhere
Here's how I solved the issue

1. open a command prompt window (start->run->cmd
2. type in: chkdsk f: /l:4096 /f (this will make the size of the log file 4M
from 65MB
3. now the drive should be accessible with 60MB fre
4. clean some disk space (I'd recommend at least 10% so you don't encounte
thi
issue again
5. in the command prompt window type chkdsk f: /l:65536 /f (!!remember to d
this!! you will encounter other issues if you don't. This command will set th
log size back to 65MB
6. do like I did and have a drink for recovering a critical production serve
:)))

Hope this helps someone out there.
