My console overfloweth with this rot : message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running?
The rate is just silly .. here is what I see when I run 'date' on the console ( or at least I try ) twice in fairly rapid sequence : # date message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? Sat Apr 3 01:25:43 GMT 2010 # date message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running?

This renders the console useless and fills up the syslogs. I can type 'svcs -xv | grep log' in some other xterm and then paste it into this console session to see : # svcs -av | grep log message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? legacy_run - 1:20:54 94 lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S94ncalogd disabled - 1:18:12 - svc:/system/console-login:vt2 disabled - 1:18:12 - svc:/system/console-login:vt3 disabled - 1:18:12 - svc:/system/console-login:vt4 disabled - 1:18:12 - svc:/system/console-login:vt5 disabled - 1:18:12 - svc:/system/console-login:vt6 disabled - 1:18:24 - svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default disabled - 1:21:17 - svc:/network/login:eklogin disabled - 1:21:17 - svc:/network/login:klogin disabled - 1:21:18 - svc:/network/login:rlogin disabled - 1:36:32 - svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default online - 1:20:34 78 svc:/system/console-login:default online - 1:20:36 76 svc:/system/system-log:default # message overflow on /dev/log minor #6 -- is syslogd(1M) running? Also svcs -xv reports no problems anywhere. Anyone seen this sort of thing given that this is snv_135 and that yes indeed svc:/system/system-log is running just fine ? -- Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
