Help: Database Table Taking 9GB Of Disk Space But Only Contains 50Mb Data.
Disk space is increasing at an alarming rate (about 500MB a day). Shrink of database seems to have no effect. It is a queueing table so data is inserted then a few minutes later it gets processed & deleted.
Here is info about the problem:
sp_spaceused ImporterModuleQueue
name rows reserved data index_size unused
------------------- ----------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
ImporterModuleQueue 30 9469432 KB 9468280 KB 32 KB 1120 KB
This is about 9 GB
select sum(len(QueueContent)) from ImporterModuleQueue
49744918
select sum(len(QueueErrors)) from ImporterModuleQueue

This is about 50 Mb

Normal Disk IO
I am wondering what normal disk I/O should be.
i know it verys depending on use but im looking for an average.
here is an idea of what we have
there is about 10 centers doing replication to our primary server.
we have about 80 users connecting directoy to our primary server using MS Dynamics through CITRIX.
we have a few other apps use the database as well however i am fairly certin its Dynamics generating our disk IO
Hardware wise we have a powerful blade connected to a raid 5 SAN with 15000 rpm disks.
normaly the disk IO stays fairly low but every so often it goes crazy and im thinking it shouldn't
Below is a sample of our disk IO from perfmon over 2 minutes or so. as you can see everything looks ok untill 04/15/2008 10:12:49.470 when the Disk I/O % goes above 100%
