The maximum disk space that is used on a query server or on an index server increases to 2.85 times the physical size of the index after you install Office Servers Service Pack 1

SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft Office Servers Service Pack 1 (SP1), the maximum disk space that is required on a query server or on an index server increases. The maximum disk space requirement is now 2.85 times the physical size of the index. Previously, the maximum disk space requirement was 2.5 times the physical size of the index.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because Microsoft has changed the method that is used to merge indexes in Office Servers SP1. This change significantly improves performance, and it reduces server downtime. However, this change also increases the disk space requirement.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
