SQL Server 2012 Filestream

  • Hi All,

    We have a server with a database with filestream enabled. The filestream data is in a filegroup with three files spread across 3 LUNs F:, G:, and H: each with a capacity of 1.8 TB.

    The file stream containers in those three LUNs reference the same column in the same table.

    The F: Drive has only 64 GB free space left. The H: However has around 700 GB free.

    We are looking to move some filestream content from the container in F: to the container in H:.

    Firstly, Is this possible, If so, Could anyone suggest a recommended approach for this?

    Thank you in advance. Would really appreciate some insight.

    thanks,

  • Hi,

    did not want to leave this topic incomplete as this might be useful to someone else.

    We logged a ticket with Microsoft Premier Support for this and the answer to my question is a NO. moving entire containers is possible (like moving standard .mdf and .ldf to different directories) but moving some content is not possible.

    thanks,

  • Thanks for the update. We are currently investigating all interesting facts about FILESTREAM. Your update will be added to our documentation 😉
