Ok, I'm not crazy! I've recreated this by: - used wizard to create another server instance using defaults - created an archivepool volume - defined a test client - update recovery log space trigger to 1% (this is what I was initially trying to test - probably not needed to recreate problem) - switched to rollforward mode - archived files to the server - issue q log to view used pages, they continually reset like normal mode - stop archive - defined devclass for db backup - run db backup - archived files to server - issue q log - now log continues to fill as it should in rollforward mode.
I then, stopped client archive, switched log back to normal then rollforward then started client archive again. Same results as earlier - log gets reset as in normal mode. So it seems the log was not switching to rollforward until a db backup was run. (Note that no dbbackup trigger was defined. When I defined one on my first test then a DB backup was automatically triggered). Not sure if this is working as designed.

Is it possible that a db backup is being run between the time you see the usage climb and when it goes back down?

I'm currently testing 5.1.6.2 on W2K and this doesn't seem to be working. Issue set logmode rollforward to set to rollforward mode (q status confirms that this is set). Issue q log to see log utilization Start a client archive that archives thousands of files. Issue q log periodically. The used pages go up then resets as if running in normal mode.
