我们一个SQL Server服务器在执行YourSQLDBa的作业YourSQLDba_FullBackups_And_Maintenance时遇到了错误：
Exec YourSQLDba.Maint.ShowHistoryErrors @JobNo = 1227
<row>
<ctx>yMaint.IntegrityTesting</ctx>
<Sql>DBCC checkDb('xxxx') </Sql>
<err>In case of non-completion of this command check SQLServer Error Log at 2016-11-17 00:00:03.327 for Spid 67</err>
</row>
错误日志里面有下面一些错误信息，如下所示：

另外，我们的磁盘空间告警作业也收到了大量的磁盘空间告警邮件：
其实在白天的时候，该服务器就已经有磁盘空间告警邮件发出，由于系统管理员想在周末做存储扩容。所以在晚上数据库做DBCC CHECKDB时，就由于磁盘空间不足，遭遇了这个错误。DBCC CHECKDB时会生成数据库快照，而数据库的快照文件是基于稀疏文件(Sparse File),而当快照创建后，随着对源数据库的改变逐渐增多，稀疏文件也会慢慢增长。所以，当磁盘空间不足时，就会遇到下面错误信息：
1：Write to sparse file 'xxxxxxx.ndf:MSSQL_DBCC10' failed due to lack of disk
2：SSQL_DBCC10: Operating system error 112(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105) encountered
此时由于磁盘空间不足，就会导致DBCC CHECKDB停止。关于DBCC CHECKDB耗用大量额外磁盘空间，可以参考下面这篇博客。
