filegroup full during DBCC

running DBCC CHECKDB repair and wound up filling up the disk - was able
to free up some space, the files are set to grow automatically. The
DBCC is still running - will it eventually bag out, or is it smart
enough to continue now that it has more space?check to see if it is hung by using sp_who2. Watch to see if it consumes cpu
and disk io between consecutive runs of sp_who2. If cpu or io is not
increasing you should kill it.

Estimate_only option to see how much space you may require first.

thanks Hilary and Andrew for the responses - the DBCC did wind up
finishing and performing the repairs needed without any intervention
once I freed up space. Dumb move on my part not running the
Estimate_only first; lesson learned there. And thanks for the tip-off
on sp_who2 - I can see that coming in real handy. I've been admin'ing
SQL Srvr for about 8 years but it's almost a side job, and my db's have
never really run into problems before so now it's time to ratchet up
the diligence a bit. much obliged.
