DBCC Reindex

Hi all
I include the 'Reorganize pages with the original amount of free space'
option on my database maintenance plan. On some of my databases this makes
the transaction log balloon. What's the mechanics of this option?
The database recovery models are set to full, is it simply all the index's
are being rebuilt and under the full recovery model everything is being
logged?

Correct. Maint Plan executes DBCC DBREINDEX for all tables. This command will first create a new
index, then drop the old one. All is logged. Two suggestions:
Use the code in Books Online, under DBCC SHOWCONTIG instead. This will only reindex the indexes that
are fragmented in the first place.
But first read http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../ss2kidbp.mspx so you
can determine whether to do reindex or not and using which method (DBREINDEX or INDEXDEFRAG).
