I kicked off a defrag on our 50gig last night and it ended up hanging at 56% for about an hour and a half. I checked the I/O Reads and Writes on eseutil process and it wasn't updating. I hit ctrl-con the eseutil screen and the util immediately updated to 58%. Roughly 5 mins later the I/O reads and Writes stopped updating again, hit ctrl-c and up to 60%.
I'm currently watching it go through the rest of the process, and will hit ctrl-c at each lockup but does anyone know what would be causing this?

And yes, I created a backup of the database before running the defrag.

I'd advise running the isinteg after a mailbox cleanup, just in case there is some wonkiness in the database that isn't very apparent.

Is anything else running in processes that could be affecting the command box?

The eseutil locked up during the transfer of the temp file to the edb and stm files. So Didn't really help me answer the question

BFilm: I'm still working on the defrag at this point, it's copying my final database back over. I didn't run isinteg, there wasn't really a reason. I needed to defrag the database because we just did a complete cleanup of old users mailboxes and had people clean their own mailboxes up. I probably should run the isinteg as well.
