disk full

  • my d:\\ drive was full. i wnt to some space to D:\\ .

  • U mean the issue is due to SQL server?

    Shrink the db having high log file size.

    Check the temp DB, if its huge and ur server is not production then restart sql server.

    Hi,

    Is the SQL server installed in D drive

    [font="Comic Sans MS"]+++BLADE+++[/font]:cool:

  • Provide more info:

    There are many options Like:

    1. Shrink file

    2. move .mdf or .ldf files

    3. Purge data

    4. delete unwanted files from the drive.

    5. delete old back file if not required.

    Might be one suites your requirement. 😛

    What else resides on this drive? Can additional hard rives be added to the partition? Can you archive anything? What are the recovery modes of the databases? If full recovery, are you doing T-Log backups on a regular basis to keep the sizes manageable?

    While shrinking might be the first knee-jerk reaction, the underlying cause of the issue must be addressed as well. Also, if tempdb is large, there is an obvious reason for it, be it database maintenance or a large, potential runaway query???

    Bottomline, analysis must be done to determine why the drive has filled up - unless it's simply the nature of the application being run and the OP not measuring growth metrics and being caught unprepared, IMO.

    Buy a bigger drive. Or add more drives to the array.

    Perhaps you can shrink tempdb instead of having to restart sql

    Never a good idea. If an application is using tempdb and you're shrinking it, it can, and probably will, corrupt the database it's using.

  • Well, without more info, my advice would be to delete some stuff you don't need.

  • Shrink tempdb? Who said tempdb was on that drive?

  • I think someone assumed all data on the same drive, which is likely for many installations.

    Since the OP didn't give us much info, we're left to speculate wildly to cover all possible scenarios.
