DB02 is online, but only have 6 users.
DB01 has ~30

Any backups?

Yes, but a week old. So the time to attempt a recovery for a couple hours is worth it.

A reboot later and eseutil is working this time

Sounds like the backup process should be revisited.

Well that's good, odd but good

Damnit.

I possibly have not enough space for the temp file. I cannot find a way to tell
eseutilto write the temp file to another location. -
@JaredBusch What is the error in the Windows Event Logs?
Any mention of Fragmentation?
