SQL Server 2005 LDF won't shrink

Asked by sampar in MS SQL Server

Hi,

I have an issue with multiple database on my sql server. For a while, some of them were set on FULL recovery type and some others on Simple.

We switched all of them to full and configured full and transaction logs backups. In any case, for many database, after a full and/or transaction log backup, even tho the logs get truncated, the .LDF will not shrink at all.

When I select to shrink file > logs, I can see 98% of free space. I start the job, no error, but no space freed.

I tried switching back to "simple", do a db backup, then a log backup, then a shrink, no good. Back to full recovery type, db backup, log backup, shrink, no good.


Any thought?
