1. Yes 2. Yes. After online maintenance completes, white space is marked as "available for use" and will be used prior to the database being expanded again.

I have a few related questions: 1. If we use an archiving solution like EV to archive messages, will this create more white space? 2. Will exchange ever start consuming this white space by putting messages in it so that the database file no longer grows until all white space is consumed?
