Re: Recovery > 100%

It seemed like a reasonable, if less-than-intuitive, explanation.  I just 
compacted a user's mail file manually so I could check the before and 
after numbers, and the K recovered and percentage doesn't jive with the 
before or after size.  But it is closer to the before value, so my 
implication is probably off-base.

Before:  149,159,936 bytes
After:  136,577,024 bytes

The log reports 12288K (8%) recovered

My calculations indicate that 8% of the before value is 11653K and 8% of 
the after value is 10670K.

Re: Recovery > 100%






Are you trying to say that if I take a 4gb mail file and it compacts down 
to a 1gb mail file then perhaps Lotus is calculating a 3gb reduction 
divided by a 1gb final size and getting 300%?  Versus taking a 3gb 
reduction size divided by a 4gb original size and getting 75%?
