  Hi,

  We have ABC.mdf and ABC2.ndf and a relatively newly created ABC3.ndf

  We created ABC3.ndf because ABC2.ndf  was on a 2TB drive and was running out of diskspace.

  The drive ABC2.ndf  is on is pretty much full now.

  We are seeing Write a sparse file errors (17053 and 5128) saying there is a lack of diskspace for ABC2.ndf  (which is true)

  ABC3.ndf is growing. And ABC.mdf and ABC2.ndf and ABC3.ndf are all on the same filegroup.

  Is this normal to get not enough diskspace errors against ABC2.ndf , when there is an ABC3.ndf file?
