Question

We're running SQLServer 2005 SP1 and for some weird reason our one database transaction log automatically changed it's Autogrowth to 12800% which isn't even a valid number. I cannot change the growth % because of the invalid number.

I've scoured the Internet and saw a lot of other people also had this problem but with no clear solutions.

What caused this to happen and how can I fix it?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

As I discovered a few seconds after I posted the question it is a known bug : support.microsoft.com/kb/919611

The simplest solution is to install the next service pack (I updated to SP4) after the restart it automatically changed the 12800% back to the previous setting which was 100MB increments.

OTHER TIPS

Unfortunately it's a bug.

You can find all the affected databases by looking in sys.master_files. Write ALTER DATABASE scripts to change it.
