It's never the same database, server, time of day or anything else you can attribute a pattern to. The problem is that, out of the blue, we will suddenly see the disk for a particular database suddenly start running out of space. In some cases we've seen it drop by ~1GB/min. By the time our monitoring has noticed, and we notice, and investigate, the disk space has been reclaimed. It's very odd. The database itself stays the same size. On the rare occasion we've been able to take a look, the indexes seem to be causing the problem. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across something like this? The two dirs below were taken about 60 seconds apart.
