SNARAS Traces Continually Grow in Size If Left Enabled (243784)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP1
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP2
  • Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP3
This article was previously published under Q243784

SYMPTOMS

When the SNARAS traces are enabled, the trace files %WinntRoot%\System32\Snaras.trc and %WinntRoot%\System32\Rassna.trc will continue to increase in size if you do not disable tracing. Eventually, the files will consume all disk space remaining on the boot partition.

CAUSE

The trace versions of Snaras.dll and Rassna.dll on the SNA Server 4.0 compact disc do not use the same tracing mechanism as the other SNA Server traces. Therefore, there is no limit to how large the files can grow.
