Ouch. :( > is any logging that can tell when pass the database recovery is on Perhaps use an operating system level monitoring tool (Process Monitor on Windows, strace on Linux, etc.) to see if you can watch the store opening and accessing each log file. I'm supposing that the recovery processing essentially reads those logs sequentially, so if you watch it for a while you can see how long it takes to finish one log and move on to the next? bryan
