Second day of "In Recovery" state

Hello,
during insert of 100 billion records my HDD gone out of free space, SSMS crashed. After restarting SSMS I saw my database in state "In Recovery". Today is the second day of the recovery. I have no backups. Data file size is about 6GB, log file
50GB (!). I have now about 30 GB of free space. I don't see anywhere recovery progress. And probably am not sure recovery is active.  All settings (recovery etc.) are default settings for SQL Server Express 2012.. What can I do? I just want not to lose
my database and go to the state before this large insert.
Sergey.

Hello Sergey,
The following blog explains that "Too many Virtual log files can cause slow database recovery"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saponsqlserver/archive/2012/02/22/too-many-virtual-log-files-vlfs-can-cause-slow-database-recovery.aspx
To correct the situation and prevent its recurrence:
Backup the Transaction Log of the database
Shrink the Transaction Log as much as possible using DBCC SHRINKFILE
Ideally do this in a maintenance window
Multiple SHRINKFILE executions might be called for to substantially shrink it
Expand the Transaction Log back to its target initial size
Set the Transaction Log growth size to be in units of 1 GB
Apply the latest CUs for SQL Server 2008 or 2008 R2

Thanks Don!
But probably I should do this after recovery completes.
To the moment it still in progress but I can not check it's status..
I see in error log file that sometimes the database  starts up again (see log below). What could be a reason? Does recovery start from scratch on each "db starting up"? 
2014-01-06 16:38:58.77 spid53      Starting up database 'ket'.
2014-01-06 17:01:51.02 spid53      Database ket has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to
reduce the number of virtual log files.

  • IPod Mini messed up on the second day of owning it..

    I really need some help.. I downloaded three of my CD's from iTunes into my iPod Mini yesterday (when I purchased it), and now today.. Whenever I want to play a song, I get strange static..ish noises and it skips through all the songs in the album until the last one, then it stops and goes to the main menu. I am very upset now because I paid $100 for this iPod Mini, and it screws up on the second day..
    Is anyone else getting this problem? Anyone know how I can fix it? Please help.

    Once again I never said it was the hold and center button. I said you toggle the hold switch (which is on top of the ipod mini) to the on position, then you switch it back to the off position. After that you hold down the center button and the menu button.
    b Center button and Menu button.
    As quoted from Apple's support page.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    The select button is the center button.
    Please copy and paste, or quote where I said it was the hold and center.
    it's hold & play/pause buttons
    Who is wrong? Neither one of us! I now see that we are both describing the method of reseting two different types of iPods, click wheel and scroll wheel.
    Only my method applies here because this is an iPod mini thread. Click wheel.

  • Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated.  Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.  Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

    Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated.  Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
    Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone.  Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete.  I really don't want to do that again!

    I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

  • Error: ME is in recovery state (also does not come back from sleep)

    Hi,
    my name is Ifor and I bought a Lenovo X220 (4290-44G) exactly 2 years ago.
    The following happened:
    -I noticed an error while booting. The screen said: ME is in recovery state. After that I noticed my computer won't wake up from sleep after I closed the lid. So I installed a fresh windows 7 ultimate install. All the drivers have been downloaded from Windows Update or the Lenovo site.
    The error still is not fixed, so I updated my BIOS with the newest .iso file from the Lenovo support site. The error still persists!  
    Also, my processor gets really warm and my screen sometimes flicker. I've had no problems or what-so-ever before.
    All I found was this link and I updated my bios already: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19456189.aspx
    I would be really grateful if someone could help me.
    Kind regards,
    Ifor

    Same problem with my T420. The Intel(R) Active Management Technology - SOL (COM4) doesn't work either.
    Fresh windows 7 pro installed, latest BIOS from Lenovo, flashed CMOS, installed drivers with Lenovo system update software...

  • MacBook crashed the second day of using it

    So I have been a life long PC user, but I finally decided to switch to a mac, since my 4 year old Dell got rained on and hasn't been working properly.
    Anyways after countless commercials about how Macs don't crash and have any problems, I decided to pick up this new aluminum macbook. I have already had multiple problems with the trackpad (discussed in other forums) and the SECOND day of use, I was listening to iTunes with the visualizer, and it crashed. The music skipped and a window popped up telling me to restart the computer immediately. As far as I can remember with my Dell, it never crashed my entire system a SINGLE time. Yea programs would crash here and there, but never anything like that.
    I love the interface on this thing, but I am very disappointed in Mac so far, especially when paying over $1600 for one...

  • What's best for the battery: recharge each day or only every second day

    Hi. 
    I can go two days on the battery of the Xperia Z1 Compact. How do I make sure the battery lasts the longest: By charging every day at about 50 percent battery, or by charging every second day at less than 10 percent battery, thus reducing the number of charge cycles the battery gets?

  • Mirror Database shows Recovery state in Database mirroring in sql 2012

    Hi I am working on DBmirroring and have encountered problem of mirror database showing recovery state.
    I tried to resolve issue by removing database mirroring from principal ,removing endpoints from both the nodes and
    finally firing alter database db1 set partner off statement also.But when reconfigure dbmirroring on principal it does not allow
    start dbmirroring and mirror database db1 comes in to recovery state from restoring stage.
    srm_2010

    ok in that case why it is not allowing me to configure db mirroring when I am trying from SSMS.It gives an error.tell me????
    srm_2010
    And what is the error ? If while configuring mirroring it fails for some reason you have to make sure the mirror database which has gone in recovery state needs to be brought in restoring state.

  • HT201269 my new 5s was stuck in recovery state & now dead

    You need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least OS X 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10.5.
    With OS X 10.4.11, you cannot upgrade beyond iTunes 9.2.1.
    OS X upgrades from 10.4.XX to 10.5.XX require purchasing a DVD with the new OS.  If your laptop has an intel processor, you can upgrade directly to OS X 10.6 for $29.
    Take your laptop to the store with your new phone and ask them what your best options are.

  • No incoming email second day running - is this a b...

    This is now the second day I am not getting email into my account.  I can however send email.  Talking to customer service yesterday the problem has now been raised to beyond level 2; both assistants checked my computer settings with Go To Assist without finding anything untoward.  I access my BT email through web-based servers only and do not use Outlook.  I am still on the BT Yahoo Mail service for my normal email and a new sub account I have been obliged to set up. Something appears to have gone seriously wrong - whether with the migration or not is unclear.  
    Worse still, my wife is experiencing exactly the same problem.
    What is going on?

    Its rare according to their agents!
    It happens when they mark your account for migration
    But of course they don't tell you this, make fatuous comments when you speak to their agents who get you to send emails to tour self and then send emails to the affected account and then say
    Its being escalated to 2nd level technical support, which must be a euphemism for dumped in the trash can and forgotten about and then it will all sort itself out
