However, the SUSPENDED status on the online rebuild does not leave me with a good feeling. subject table has 103151154 rows, no columns defined as a large object, a 2 column non-unique non-clustered index, a 1 column primary clustered key index. Row size is less than 100 bytes. recovery mode is "full" on the subject database. running SQL 2005 Enterprise 64bit on a 64bit Windows 2003 server with 16gb of memory, 24gb of virtual memory. Was running a script to rebuild all indexes in all tables. Eleven smaller tables had processed successfully. I left for for the evening and came back this morning to find the SUSPENDED status. Looked at the SQL lock and found an "unresolved deadlock" ...on a test server, and I am the only one logged in. Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.

I restored the database between each test. I captured the stats from the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats dmv view before and after. When using the online methed the number of datapages went up in some cases. This was not the same for the offline. Do you have any thoughts?
