I detached a database and copied the data and log files to another logical partition. The attach works successfully, however the database is now in 'read-only' mode. When I attempt to update the database properties I get the following message:


Server:Msg 5105, Level 16, State 10, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name 'FullPathToLogFile\LogFileName.ldf' may be incorrect.

Try attaching only the MDF via sp_attach_single_file_db as your LDF file may be corrupt.

The command runs successfully, but I'm still getting the same error.

The physical file name 'F:\SQLDATA\LOADTEST_Data.MDF' may be incorrect. The physical file name 'C:\SQLDATA\LOADTEST_Log.ldf' may be incorrect.

It doesn't sound like you've got good database files. You might need to contact MS for this or try posting the data corruption forum here where MS engineers respond to posts.

Thanks. It looks like the 're-sizing' of the server partitions may have resulted in corruption. I think I'm going back to the last known good backups. At least this is only development.
