OK this is bizarre!

I tried this yesterday around 16:00.
The last db backup was yesterday at 13:30 (according to volhist and
searching actlog).  This morning I could recreate this and showed a
co-worker.  After reading your post, I tried again and the same thing
happened.

I then defined a DB Backuptrigger (a DB backup was triggered) and I tried
this again.

Now the log continues filling - log pages continue to go up.

I tried recreating this by deleting the DB backuptrigger with no luck!  So I
know this is hard to believe but I know what I saw (and it wasn't just me!)

Anyways, we are going to try a test migration with a copy of our Prod DB
next.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim, I'm playing with this myself, and I don't see the problem you
describe.

Is it possible that a db backup is being run between the time you see the
usage climb and when it goes back down?

Regards,

Andy

Is anyone running in logmode rollforward on 5.1.6.2?  I'm currently
testing
5.1.6.2 on W2K and this doesn't seem to be working.

Issue set logmode rollforward to set to rollforward mode (q status
confirms
that this is set).
Issue q log to see log utilization
Start a client archive that archives thousands of files.
Issue q log periodically.

The used pages go up then resets as if running in normal mode.
