If everything has replicated, truly, then you won't lose anything. It will all backfill.

Whoever built this server years ago, created the partition in question as a dynamic partition and we lost a drive in the RAID set(Compaq hardware raid - blah to software RAID sets). anyways when the array rebuilt Windows placed this Dynamic partition into a "At Risk" state. After reactivating it, it soon goes back into a At Risk State.. I've tried many things to recover/move the data off the partition, but the .edb file will not move - the streaming db moves fine, I receive a I/O timeout error along umpteen million errors in the system log. So. we don't have a valid back up of the data, but the PF data has been replicated to two of the other Exchange 2003 servers in this site. So my question is, after the long winded build up, if I simply delete the Public Folder store and recreate a new one on a different partition, what will I break? I can point all mail stores to use another server for its PF store.. Or should I consider a different course of action? Right now, the PF db works fine, users are saying performance is normal, lookups, etc. TIA for any suggestions. - John Barsodi ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
