Database in Principal, Synchronized/In Recovery mode

I checked again and there isn't any reference as to what phase it is in for this
particular database. I see all the other recovery notes for the other databases
but none for this one. I did some research last night and it mentioned a "VLF"
issue where it has to process all of those before you even get to the analysis
phase, is that correct? Also, since the incident the drive with the database has
used up an extra 5 GB. The log is currently filled with logon failure errors withError 18456 Severity 14 Status 38. Almost all of them are from the server itself.
