Fail to flush transaction logs automatically with database's circular logging setting enabled in Exchange 2013
I had the experience that after enabling database's circular logging in Exchange 2013 SP1 with cumulative update 9, the transaction logs couldn't be flushed suddenly. Is it a known issue? Any patch can fix this problem?

It's already configured, and the problem happened suddenly.

After enabling circular logging, your need dismount and moint this database.

Hi ProblemMan,

Do you have DAG in-place, make sure replication is fine and there are no issues with the passive copies. Truncation would not happen if passive copies are failing.

"the transaction logs couldn't be flushed" are you forcing it somehow or just saying its not getting flushed as usual.

If the mailbox database is replicated, it will use continuous replication circular logging (CRCL). In this case, enabling or disabling CRCL takes effect dynamically; there is no need to dismount and re-mount the database.

Configure circular logging for a mailbox database:

Make sure these services are running without any errors:

Whereas ESE circular logging is performed and managed by the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, CRCL is performed and managed by the Microsoft Exchange Replication service
