Have a look at KB 259751. Also, a full successful backup will clear the logs, but maybe you should think about having BE on a different drive - its logs can get mighty big. Along with the store, the transaction log drive is the ultimate in Exchange - you should protect both of these drives from other apps and files as much as you can so that this very scenario doesn't happen again.

Drive with the log files (also the system drive) ran low on space, so the MTA stopped. I cleared some stuff off the drive to get up to 150MB. MTA started, and it's working. The disk space problem also caused BENT to not run correctly because it couldn't write the catalog to the disk (space was down to 7MB when I got there on Monday). I believe that this caused the Exchange logs to not get flushed. The logs now comprise 3GB of space (and growing). One successful backup has run since, but again, the logs aren't flushed. My question is (to refresh my memory)... Can I stop Exchange, copy the logs to another drive for archiving, then kill the originals, and restart Exchange? If I recall, it should recreate new log files, correct? (I'm making the assumption that the transactions in the logs are committed). It looks like the drive that the store is on has plenty of space (including enough to defrag the store, etc). All services are running fine. But obviously, I need to clear those logs, and want to make sure it's how I remember it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
