    Running SQL Server 2000 SP4 and I started getting these errors in my log several days ago.

    The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space..

    Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 6

    Free space on the drive where the Tempdb data and log files reside is at 24GB free.

    Tempdb is in Simple mode recovery

    TempDB datafile is 3226240 KB with autorgow by increments of 10% (no limit) and autoshrink off

    TempDB logfile is 48512 KB with autogrow by increments of 10% (no limit) and autoshrink off

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

    Your log file for tempdb is only 47.5 MB and growing in increments of 10%. When you hit 47.5 MB of log use, you will receive that error message. The log will grow by it's 10% as many times as is needed to allow that transaction using tempdb to clear. Then the log will checkpoint and truncate.

    If you want to reduce the errors being received, grow your log file to 256 MB. I would also change the growth increments to something like 32 MB or 64 MB.
