Summary: Since REBUILD requires the output file to be a new file instead of the input file when doing a reorganization, there must be enough free disk space for a copy of the data file to be written. For example, to rebuild a 10-megabyte data file, at least 10 megabytes of free disk space must be available on the hard disk.
