• Ah,  yes...  You're right, Jason.  I am confusing database file free space with free space on disk.  I feel pretty dumb now!

    Thanks, Jeff!  It looks like I, at first, was trying to keep the 15% "rule" for the database files, but since the database is so large 15% is a huge amount of space.  So I stopped maintaining the 15% rule (within the database) and so I was curious if I was mess something up.  Now that Jason blew my mind with his database file free space vs free space on disk, I'm all straightened out.  

    I would absolutely LOVE it if I could move old data out, but everyone else and their mammas want to keep that old data all in a single database.  I do have the largest tables/indexes partitioned.  

    I will look into the page fullness for each index.  I didn't think it was recommended to perform index reorgs/rebuilds anymore.  Only to keep up with stats.
