• Actually, I query sys.traces to import the trace file to figure out file extends, ...

    There is nomore info for trace id 1 !

    No info at all because we are not tracing for other reasons either.

    Then I searched SQLservers Errorlog and got the the errormessage stating the default trace ended because :

    2009-02-12 15:44:20.880spid116Trace ID '1' was stopped because of an error. Cause: 0x80070070(There is not enough space on the disk.). Restart the trace after correcting the problem.

    I don't know for sure about that time, but currently the disk (250GB) has 50GB free space.

    I'm still trying to figure out what's been goin on, but for that server I'm just a "passer-by" who got called in to help out. So I'm in contact with the actual administrators to give me more input.
