The Max Log File

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item The Max Log File

  • Ooops, did not know about this 2TB max. Thanks for setting the question!

  • The way that I read the MS documentation the 2 TB limit only applies if you specify the MAXSIZE parameter.  If you don't specify it, then the size is only limited by the amount of space on the device.

  • "a log file specified with unlimited growth has a maximum size of 2 TB"

    From the doc.

  • That was my interpretation as well mostly because of this quote "If max_size is not specified, the file size will increase until the disk is full.". The 2TB limit is stated in the next paragraph in the context of setting max size to UNLIMITED. However that same paragraph also says "a log file specified with unlimited growth has a maximum size of 2 TB" which I assume to mean whether max_size is set or not. Still a good question.
