Largest DrWatson Log file?
-
I can't say I pay attention to DrWatson.. but having just pulled this drive from a 'suspected' computer. When I plugged in to scan with Webroot - I noticed the drive bar was Red (near limit) so I looked at it with WinDirStat -
OM Word! drwtsn32.log file is 119.7GB is size!
Unreal!
-
Yeah you "win", that is crazy huge
-
WOW, how's that even possible?
-
...okay then...
-
The individual log or directory? I've seen some beefy directories, but never a single log that size.
The only way I can conceive of a file getting that large is maybe in a SQL instance dumping the entire memory contents, but knowing most of you guys, you probably don't have one of those 64 core/320GB SQL servers I work on all the time. What the hell did it capture?

Except...Except...This was a DESKTOP - Windows XP Pro,.....It was just a single file! I haven't deleted it yet, but I'll screen shot it tomorrow and upload it.. -
Well that's just messed up.
Open it up, figure out what the hell it was capturing. Then nuke it.
-
Well here it is,... I haven't opened it yet.. trying to speculate just how long it would take to open it...
