Hi, My customer has a Microsoft Cluster (Windows 2008 R2). On one clustered disk (containing one sql server log file), he got an alert saying it was running out of space. In fact, the file grew a lot during a transaction but then shrinked. But, even after shrinking, Windows reported that it was still running out of space and when you looked, you'd see there was like 10 GB of free space on the disk even though there was actually 90 GB. Moving the ressource from a node to another didn't change anything. We had to restart the server to make this error disappeared. Is this a Windows 2008 R2 bug ? Any hotfix to correct that ? Thank you. Regards, Eric.
