I have a database called playDb..
and log file playdb.ldf...

strange thing is the date modified on playdb.ldf is keep changing even though nobody is using this DB ( and no backup )...the last date modified was 2/20/2007 8:00 am.. but nobody is using this db since 02/06/07...

why does the date modified keep chaning even though there are no activities on this DB? no users login... no maintenenance plan...

"auto shrink option is turn on"

Very rare that that is a useful option to have turned on (not sure its "tickling" the file date though)

Change the database to Offline and see if any user screams?
