fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck

i want to say that i posted something about our exchange server a little while ago about how it was running out of space (i think i've mentioned it a few times way back when) but the latest nail in the coffin was it happened again this afternoon.

only this time rather than moving the public data store to a separate drive, i'm moving the whole fucking private store to that drive, and when that finishes (it's been moving for the last 60+ minutes) i'll move the public store back to where it was originally.

priv goes to the f: drive
pub goes to the d: drive

f: drive has ~17gb available
d: drive has ~15.9gb available.

and the most frustrating part about all of this is that exchange 5.5 has a private store maximum size of 16gb.

so i'm hoping that in the short term, the new (to the priv) additional room will give it a chance to a) reach that 16gb max and then b) (my biggest hope) will force exchange to do it's little purgey routine that will clean things up and prevent me from having to drag my ass into work tomorrow night and for me to tape Lost because i'll be freezing my ass off in a chilly server room.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST...i damn near shit my pants. i just checked up on how the move was, and sticking my head into the server room i saw and error on the server. fortunately, it's the error we always seem to get when the services start yet doesn't seem to affect anything negatively thus far, so i could handle that. i'm in the process of moving the public store back to d: now, which should take less time (like a fraction of the time) so things should be back up and running (i hope) in the next 30 mins.

because if it ain't, i won't be able to leave here in 31 minutes according to my clock.

here's hoping that all goes well...
