datapump import consuming disk space

708774Dec 6 2009 — edited Dec 6 2009
Hi all,

Windows server 2003
Oracle 10g

I'm trying to import a schema using datapump:
impdp username/password schemas=siebel directory=dpdir dumpfile=schema_exp.dmp status=60

It's importing but it's consuming massive amounts of disk space, over 40 gig now. Why is it consuming so much space just to import. I'm doing a reorg\, so I dropped the biggest production schema, and did the import. I didn't resize the datafiles, so where is all this extra disk space going?
Please help, this is a production site and I'm running out of time (and space)
