Let me fill in some of the blanks.
The goal is to create more free disk space on Node1. (I don’t even have enough free space for a local offline defrag)

Microsoft claims that an offline defrag should take 5-7G per hour.(that’s where I get 40+ hours).
The cluster has 2 EVSs on 3 physical nodes. Both EVSs already have the root Public Folder Store mounted.
The servers are Win2k3 SP1 and Exchange is 2003 SP2.
The hardware are Quad Xeon 2.0Ghz servers with 4GB RAM.

I have tested this theory in a VMWare environment and it seems to go well (with very little data and users). However, I am open to other suggestions and ideas.

Thanks again.
