Subject Huge Log file size crashing server
Author R. S. Patil
Dear friends,

We have following setup

One Win 2003 server acting as PDC
Another Win 2000 server
A Linux (FC4 samba) Firebird Server.

OFC Backbone 10/100baseT Lan with about
35 to 40 win 9x/xp nodes. Some are using
SQL server based application on 2k3 server
and some are using Firebird based application
on Linux server.

The Firebird server has been recently added to
port a application which was earlier in paradox.
For Firebird application D-5/IBO is used.

We are facing a peculiar problem of very huge
Firebird log file getting almost 6/7 GB
which occupies whole partition and server
crashes or application gets blocked.

following line repeats thousand/million ... times
to make the log file to such size

rsp.com (Server) Sat Jan 28 10:24:57 2006
INET/inet_error: read errno = 9

Can somebody tell me what could be reason for this
and how shall i overcome that. Is there any way to
limit size of log file or reduce level of log in Firebird
or time being eliminate log file altogether ?

Thanks and Best regards

R. S. Patil
