Hi all, Let me introduce my self as a new member in fw-1 mailing list. I'm a newbie in checkpoint, and now I'm involved at implementing and maintaining connectra.
Today, I had problem with one of our connectra ngx r62. We can not install policy. Dmesg reported that "log buffer is full" And when I run df -h, it gives information that / is 100%. And /dev/pts is the one who fill up all the / space. I went to /dev/pts directory, and found that there are nothing inside the directory. Looking at milist archive, I found that by expanding the log buffer should be able to cover problem. But it was not, I could not solve it by expanding the log buffer. Dmesg still informed "log buffer is full" Then I tried to restart syslog by typing "/etc/init.d/syslog restart" on expert mode. But still no luck, can not install policy and df -h still reported that / is 100%. So, last resort, I did cpstop && cpstart. And whalaa, our connectra tells that it missing /etc/hosts information and failed to start. Looking at /etc/hosts, it should be filled with ip address and hostname, but it was empty. I still be able to remote the machine though but all vpn service is down, no one could access vpn. So, desperately, I rebooted the machine hoping that it will be back to normal. But its not, I can not even ping the machine. Does anyone knows what is /dev/pts is? What is the function of /dev/pts? Why df -h informed that /dev/pts has none on the file system column? What command that I can use to make log service to clear its buffer and rotate the log files? I ask this, because /dev/pts is reported by df -h as the only one who fill up / space. Thank you all for the help..
