Pat, You need to check the header info (/mk) to see up to which log files have been committed and remove the ones before only.
Cheers Paul Standards are like toothbrushes, everyone wants one but not yours -----Original Message----- From: Pat Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 February 2003 16:03 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Flusing log files - almost out of space NT 4 SP6 (I think) Ex 5.5 SP4 - single org, site, server One problem led to many others. Drive with the log files (also the system drive) ran low on space, so the MTA stopped. I cleared some stuff off the drive to get up to 150MB. MTA started, and it's working. The disk space problem also caused BENT to not run correctly because it couldn't write the catalog to the disk (space was down to 7MB when I got there on Monday). I believe that this caused the Exchange logs to not get flushed. The logs now comprise 3GB of space (and growing). One successful backup has run since, but again, the logs aren't flushed. My question is (to refresh my memory)... Can I stop Exchange, copy the logs to another drive for archiving, then kill the originals, and restart Exchange? If I recall, it should recreate new log files, correct? (I'm making the assumption that the transactions in the logs are committed). It looks like the drive that the store is on has plenty of space (including enough to defrag the store, etc). All services are running fine. But obviously, I need to clear those logs, and want to make sure it's how I remember it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************************************** The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).
