SQL server log folder

    and the file names are SQLDUMP extensions .txt and .mdmp.

  • You're having stack dumps, severe exceptions which result in SQL writing out diagnostic information. Rather than worry about the space, maybe worry about why you're having a lot of very severe errors.

  • Event 7105:MSSQLSERVER:The Database ID 7, Page (1:144949), slot 6 for LOB data type node does not exist. This is usually caused by transactions that can read uncommitted data on a data page. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE.

    I executed database integrity check but issue still occurs.

  • You appear to have a corrupt database. Got any clean backups?

    When did you last successfully run DBCC CheckDB?

  • I have identified a corrupt database and DBCC CHECKDB is failing.

  • Good, so you know the cause of the problem then. Fixing the corrupt DB will stop the stack dumps. Good luck.
