Bering firewall, 1.0rc2: Linux yoreach 2.4.18 #1 Sun Apr 21 12:50:34 CEST 2002 i686 unknown
My logs are filling up with entries like: Jun 24 17:14:00 yoreach kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82. Jun 24 17:14:00 yoreach kernel: Probably a duplex mismatch. See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt Jun 24 17:14:00 yoreach kernel: Flags; bus-master 1, dirty 579(3) current 579(3) Jun 24 17:14:00 yoreach kernel: Transmit list 00000000 vs. c3da62c0. Jun 24 17:14:00 yoreach kernel: 0: @c3da6200 length 8000020f status 0001020f etc., etc. ad nauseam. I did a web search and found: http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html which told me that a host on the network was incorrectly transmitting full- duplex (and, by implication, that my network interface is set to half-duplex). But, I am confused. Eth0 is connected, I'm told (by my ISP, who may be the least reliable source on this subject!), to one other machine, a router in the basement. Since internet access appears to work reasonably well, should I change anything? Persuade my ISP to change something (ha ha)? I assume that the place to change things would be in the module line in /etc/modules? Now, I can live with the error messages, but, my logs are filling up. Apparently, Bering creates a temporary filesystem in Ramdisk to hold the logs (good), allots it 2 meg (ok, I guess) and shuts logging down when /var/log exceeds capacity (bad). So, how do I: 1) Stop these messages from being logged; or 2) tell syslogd/klogd to wrap around or do something useful when the logs fill up; or 3) increase the size of the logging filesystem? I'd like to increase the amount of ram in play (anyway) as I have a lot on this machine (it was a hand me down :-) -- _________________________________________ Nachman Yaakov Ziskind, EA, LLM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Attorney and Counselor-at-Law http://yankel.com Economic Group Pension Services http://egps.com Actuaries and Employee Benefit Consultants ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
