Still happening on 20.04. I think we should limit this bug to :
- Create a mechanism that would prevent rsyslogd to fillup disk. - This would make log turn as soon as there is only XX GB left -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115774 Title: graceful full disk handling. syslog.0 and kern.log.0 grow huge Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: These two log files recently grew to over 1 Gb each. I only noticed when I booted up and X failed to start, giving a warming about not being able to write to /tmp. I later discovered that this error was due to lack of partition space and that /var/log had become bloated. I deleted syslog.0 and kern.log.0 and all is well. This bug may be related to Bug #71870. My kernel is 2.6.20-15-generic Version is Kubuntu 7.04 My hard drive is partitioned thus: hda1 - WinXP (ntfs) - 10 Gb hda5 - windows user files (ntfs) - 30 Gb hda6 - / (ext3) - 7 Gb hda7 - swap - 2 Gb hda8 - user space (fat32) - 2 Gb hda9 - /home (ext3) - 25 Gb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/115774/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
