In our setup we are using SQL cluster active and passive and all of our cluster drives are on the SAN.

We are using SAN "E" drive for our application logs.

Last week, we were adding new drives to the database server. During this activity, accidently drive letter had changed of the “E” drive to “Y”. Later this issue was found & fixed and drive was re-named back to “E”.

Our application logs could not get stored in the database because of drive letter was changed and next day morning, we have found that our logs database is disconnect and this was happened that drive name was changed.

We have fixed this issue with offline and online the database. After that our application logging is started on the database.
Our application logs could not get stored in the database since drive letter had changed to until we have offline and online the database. (Around 15 hour’s application logs).

Is there any chance that SQL Server would have written these logs to a temporary file elsewhere (while the E drive was “missing”)?
I have attached the application event logs message:

FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:\DB_LOGS\DB_LOGS.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
FileMgr::StartSecondaryDataFiles: Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.) occurred while creating or opening file 'E:\ DB_LOGS\DB_LOGS_xx.ndf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

Note: we are using MSMQ for transfer the logs from application server to DB server.
Thanks
