Should I backup syslog, delete it, and watch how things evolve?
Now that's interesting. Is there anything similar to this messages
in /var/log/cron.log?
Hmmmm... there is no /var/log/cron.log !!
Does, say, 'md5sum /var/log/syslog' runs to the completion?
Yes. Without warnings/errors.
What about 'cat /var/log/syslog > /dev/null'?
Yes. Without warnings/errors.
Can you run fsck on the filesystem containing /var/log/syslog?
I have to unmount /var for that; right?
So I need to use Live CD for that; right?
What does smartctl --all shows on the partition with this filesystem?
I never used smartctl (installed it now following-up your question).
In my system /var resides on a logical volume.
So I am not sure how to proceed.

Many thanks for the help
