Dear All,We are having a problem with Exchange database defragmantation, which is taking almost 36 hours and It was stuck at "delete unicode table" more than 20 hours, I don't understand what is going on and below are my server and database specs.The purging database size is 88 of edb and 66 of stm, besides this store we have three more stores those are running smootly so far. since the above store is quite bigger among rest thus we decided to do purging but we have problem as mentioned.The server is HP DL 380 G3, Xeon dual processors, 1.5 GB ram and first two HDD's are configured with Raid 0 for OS and second three HDD's are congirugred with Raid 5 for database and the rest one is for log files.Please advice me on why the defragmantation is taking so long to complete?Regards,Mohan
