Try a dbcc checkdb on that table. That should reset the counters.
You'll then need to restart the SQL Server process. There is a bit of a
bug where SQL Server will report a full log even after it has been
truncated!

Subject: Radius Nt with SQL 6.5, Transaction Logs filling up

Hello,

We are running RadiusNT 2.2 with ODBC to a SQL 6.5 database. Our
database
and log devices are seperate. Our database size is set at 500 MB and
our
log device was set at 500 MB. This morning, after only three weeks of
running time since we brought up the database, our transaction log
became
full, even though only 78MB of our database is being used. The worst
part
is that I could not dump the transaction log to clear it and get it back
to
0 MB. As a result I have set the log size to 1GB until I can find a way
to
clear it.

Attempting to run a DUMP TRANSACTION or do a truncate on the log only
results in it's size getting bigger! I also checked to see if there
were
any open transactions, which there are not. Still, I can't get rid of
the
transaction log, nor do I know why it is so big to begin with.

I researched the archives of this list, and tried every suggestion, but
still have a >500 MB log. Is there anyone who can help get the size of
this log reduced?
