Even in simple recovery mode there is a log file, and the physical file can grow quite large depending on what a database is doing. It is automatically truncated "on checkpoint", but that is a logical operation, not physical. So check the disk with the log file, and the size of the file, just to be certain. If that is all OK, then it looks like you may be experiencing a database problem, possibly due to the number of files and folder being "unified" and the resultant number of transactions. Rob |
