How to increase the space for Filestream file?

  • Hi,

    I'm implementing Filestream RBS for a share point content database as below.

    use [WSS_Content]

    if not exists

    (select groupname from sysfilegroups

    where groupname=N'RBSFilestreamProvider')

    alter database [WSS_Content]

    add filegroup RBSFilestreamProvider contains filestream

    use [WSS_Content]

    alter database [WSS_Content]

    add file (name = RBSFilestreamFile, filename =

    'c:\Blobstore')

    to filegroup RBSFilestreamProvider

    Question:

    After creating filestream filegroup and filestream file, I want to pre size the file to 100 GB. How to do that?

    and how to decrease/increase it's size?

    I'm trying to do this from SSMS but there is no option for that (Please see the attachment)

    thanx

  • I'm pretty sure that FILESTREAM stores individual files, not a single file like a database file. Each time you write a file out to the FILESTREAM, it gets stored out there. The FILESTREAM then ensures that the file can't be deleted until the row that refers to that file is deleted, maintaining referential integrity.
