Scott writes "We currently have a production database that is installed on a machine with a 5 disk RAID5 array for the data and a 2 disk mirrored set for the transaction logs, however; When I created the database I placed the primary log file on the RAID5 array and a secondary file on the mirrored set. After seeing my mistake (much later) I limited the primary file's size to 1M and created a secondary log file on the mirrored set so it would get the bulk of activity. How can I move the primary log file to the mirrored set without major work? i.e., droping the database, scripting a new one, bcping data in and out, etc.? This database is used 24/7 and any downtime is significant. This database is on SQL 7.0_SP2/NT Server 4.0_SP6."
