Heh :-) We had a couple of machines crash because /var/log got filled up. So, I'm kinda trying a few options here. Firstly I've set up remote syslog - didn't seem to work for normal messages, then remote syslog for Asterisk - worked but hard to differentiate between lots of machines. I change VM to go to email. I have around 700Mb free on the flash in the root partition, so I figured temporarily I'd be best off storing there. I'm not using a key disk, I'm am however using unionfs. I realise that using /var off the root will eventually fill up, but am also removing /var/log/messages.* (i.e. .0, .1 etc). I'm using a SanDisk CF with wear levelling, so the writes shouldn't be a problem (except for the fact the disk will shrink as sectors get marked bad for overuse). At this stage, this is just a test here in the lab at work, but depending on how it goes I'll roll it out. When the boxes crashed, they crashed hard and required someone to reset the power. I've now changed /proc/sys/kernel/panic to 5 (think that's the file) and so the boxes will restart themselves if they panic. - -- Kind Regards, Matt Riddell Director _______________________________________________ http://www.venturevoip.com (Great new VoIP end to end solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.venturevoip.com/newrssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIsyrYDQNt8rg0Kp4RAsRSAJ0dqkLiSUWZsVyNQjiX52jVAos2/ACgszdj XSO3AnNxdLluDY9txGZUTig= =hmeU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
