priv1.edb and priv1.stm growing for no apparant reason



Hi,

I've got an Exchange 2000 SP3 box, one of 2 that don't do much beside
route mail. They hardly contain any mailboxes. On one I got a priv1.edb
of approx. 5.5 gb and an priv1.stm of 640 mb. On the other one I got a
priv1.edb of 6.1gb and a priv1.stm of an incredible 14gb.
The priv1.stm file suddenly quadrupled in size and by suddenly I mean
in the last 6 hours.
It's now gotten to the point where I don't even have the disk space to
run an eseutil /d on it. I did run an eseutil /mh and that doesn't
report any problems. All the other files look normal.

LAst night this server also had problems with mounting it's mailbox
store because the e00.log file had dissapeared. I resolved the problems
and after that it seemed to be functioning well.

I googled quite a bit but can't find any fitting explanation why this
file suddenly gets that big.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?
