Yes this has bitten us on a few occasions and requires the usual temporary
log extension, re-start, database backup, log reduction, etc.

anyone else notice that with the server

Storage Management Server for AIX-RS/6000 - Version 4, Release 1, Level 4.0

even with log mode normal, the log doesn't clear for the ENTIRE duration of
expiration...


When expiration runs for 6-8+ hours a day and clients initiate a half
million sessions per month (pretty much round the clock daily) and and and
a person can run out of log space frequently...

not even the ol' ckpt will force check point things & clear the log...

and I've also had a server, for two days in a row now, get something hung
and the log wouldn't clear (with only a very few client sessions running...)
for no apparent reason, log space kept getting sucked up until it hit 100.1
%, issued about a million (so it seemed in clearing alerts on my pager)
messages about the log  being filled, and then BOOM, it cleared up all by
itself...   we might call in a problem on this one if we can get more info
on it/why??? but right now I'm just whine'n

I should have stayed with 3.7 :-/
