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..
