Hello, Eric! First of all I would like to thank you for all your help with my previous questions. I have another question for you. For a while we're getting this errors(in sequence): 1) Log space info for tran 0:5322101 in database 9 2) Error while undoing logged operation in database 'db_name'. Error at log record ID (5183:60087:32).. 3) Error: 3314, Severity: 21, State: 4 The log for database 'db_name' is not available.. 4) Error: 9001, Severity: 21, State: 1. Error while undoing logged operation in database 'db_name'. Error at log record ID (183:60087:33).. They repeat over and over again number of times and db goes to SUSPECT mode: Database 'db_name' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. Couple times it brought down the server, but other times it comes up by itself. I couldn't find any info on it anywhere. Do you have any ideas about what's happening, or I should open case with Microsoft? Any help appreciated! Thank you.

Albert,

What is happening is that SQL Server has reserved insufficient space and then run out of space for compensation log records it generates when rolling back a transaction. When this situation occurs it takes the database offline, runs restart recovery on it (this process frees up log space) and the database is available again. It represents a Microsoft problem and should be reported to Product Support.

Good Luck,

Eric
