RE: Weird Issue on SQL Server 2000

 

  

I'd look at the log file size for master and msdb. Is there any
possibility that these are on the C: Drive, and their logs of jobs (or
size caps) are the actual issue?

I would also consider running a job immediately prior to the restore
kicking off that logs the free space on the C: and D: drives.

Hi All,



I trust you had a great Christmas and are all getting ready for new
years eve...



I hope there is someone out there picking up emails at this time of the
day ;)



I have a very weird issue on one of my standby servers. I perform log
shipping to this server every 15 minutes and then a complete backup from
one of my production servers is copied across each morning at around 2
am. The last transaction log is restored at 22:00 the previous evening.



A few of these databases seems to experience a timeout during the
restore and this leaves their status as Loading. This is fine, however
the real issue I have right now is the server then terminates with the
following sequence of events as listed in the Application Log for the
server:



17053 :

D:\sql\data\pre_dial_new.ldf: Operating system error 112(There is not
enough space on the disk.) encountered.



17053 :

LogWriter: Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the
disk.) encountered.



Error: 9001, Severity: 21, State: 4

The log for database 'master' is not available.



Error: 3449, Severity: 21, State: 1

An error has occurred that requires SQL Server to shut down so that
recovery can be performed on database ID 1.



17053 :

LogWriter: Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the
disk.) encountered.



Error: 9001, Severity: 21, State: 4

The log for database 'msdb' is not available.





At this point SQL Server doesn't start up and I have to manually restart
the service nearly every morning to get it back up and running.



Looking at the errors in the Application log it seems logical that I
have a disk space issue. However I have 61 GB free on the D: drive, the
database files are only about 13GB in size (When looking at the total
database log size on the production server I get the information from it
is just over 12.2 GB for the log and about 800MB for the data)



The C: drive on the machine has about 4GB free - this has remained
virtually the same for the past 12 months and the issue has only started
about a month ago.



I am running windows 2000 server, SP4 and SQL Server 2000 Standard
Edition, SP4.



Let me know if anyone has any useful ideas for me please??
