I’m running Domino 8.5.1 FP2 on Windows 2003. When I try to move (admin client, files, database, move) a large DB (over 9 Gb), I get this message in AdminP and the log:
Title: MyDatabase: Apps\mydb.nsf; Name: MyServer/SRV/Cie/MyCompany; Error: Insufficient disk space
I have a C drive with OS only and about 5 GB of free space. And a D drive with all my Domino stuff with about 200Gb of free space.
This DB is currently in d:/notes/data/apps/archives and I want to move it to d:/notes/data/archives
I changed the TEMP and TMP Windows environment variables to d:/Temp
I added the line in Notes.ini “Notes_TempDir=d:/Temp”
Rebooted the Domino service. Rebooted the Win2003 server. Still getting this error.
I know I could do a copy paste on the OS side. But some of the DBs I have to move are mail-ins, so it would be easier to go with the “built-in” way
Anyone has any more ideas I could try?
Thanks
Subject: DB Move
Using this method is normally for “between servers” .
Another approach might be to create a new replica copy to the folder, then delete the origional, although if you have other servers or clients replicating, this might not be a good idea.
Easy option, move the db at OS level.

Subject: Replica has same effect
That’s what it does, under the covers, a DB replica. But it also changes all references (mail-in doc, etc) and creates a redirect.
It works for smaller DBs. But not for large ones. And using the Create Replica instead renders the same error message about insufficient disk space

Is there an FT index, is it a considerable size? potential corruption?
Just a thought, not a solution, but can you create a db copy ?

Subject: yes, but…
No FT, no corruption, 9Gb in size
I can create a copy of the DB, but since this is done by the Notes Client, it’s quite long, uses bandwidth to and from server (and doesn’t use the power of my server)
This is what I did in the Notes.ini. But I see no changes

Whats the ODS of the database ??
Subject: RE: DB
A bit of a strange one especially as you have 250GB free on the data partition…
I know you said you dont have visibility of any corruption errors, but I’m still inlined to think theres an issue with the database.
Can you work locally on the server, and use the server notes client to create a new local replica of the database, then at the OS level, swap them round… Then try your move again…
Bit of a long shot…
