Hi. During recent log revision, we've found a huge log file present practically on all centos 5.6 hosts. It's located at /var/log/brcm- iscsi.log and being generated by brcm_iscsiuio process. The process writes to it *constantly*, thus generating disk I/O and consuming disk space. By default, centos/rhel's iscsi-initiator-utils rpm doesn't come with logrotate config file, thus the file grows bigger and bigger. Here are the messages in that log file:
ERR [Fri Jul 29 04:11:40 2011]NIC_NL waiting binding to NETLINK_ISCSI socket ERR [Fri Jul 29 04:11:41 2011]NIC_NL waiting binding to NETLINK_ISCSI socket ERR [Fri Jul 29 04:11:42 2011]NIC_NL waiting binding to NETLINK_ISCSI socket and so on. generated every second (although buffered, thanks for that). I have absolutely no idea what that message means and why it is being produced every second. If there's an error, syslog a fatal message and bail out - that's the proper behaviour. Note, this is an untouched default centos/rhel install. No file modifications have been done to any configs or init scripts. iscsi service is enabled by default on centos/rhel.
