This is a timely note because the same thing was happening on my machine. When I looked in /var/log there were countless versions of a vgetty log. It's as though there was a bug in logrotate that caused it to fork multiple versions of the log; these then forked and so on in an exponential manner until there were literally hundreds of thousands of files in the directory. I removed those particular vgetty logs and so far everything seems back to normal. I'd be interested to know if you find out anything else though... --Eric -- Eric Jeschke http://cs.uhh.hawaii.edu/~jeschke
