I hate it when this happens. You get an alert that Exchange is down. You go look and find the Store is not mounted and then you realize it is because your log drive is full. I've ran into this a few times, but mostly when I've been in process of migrating mailboxes to a new server and forgot to turn on circular logging before the move. The easiest way I have found to get around this is as follows:
1. Leave the Store dismounted
2. Go to your log drive and compress the log files only (select the files, right click, and go into Advanced and choose compress)
3. Wait until this process completes (you don't have to do them all just a few)
4. Mount your store
5. Immediately run a full backup
***If this happened because you are migrating mailboxes you might try turning on circular logging at least until the mailbox move operations are complete***
