I would definitely put the option in, and in fact would default it to
*NOT* truncate. If the disk is full, you have no idea why. It *might*
be your logs, or it might be a mail bomb filling /var/spool/mail. I'm
sure as an admin the last thing I would want is my apps deciding, based
upon incomplete information, that wiping out their log files is the
right thing to do. To me that sounds more like an intruder covering his
tracks than a reasonable thing to do when confronted with ENOSPC.
Truncating logs is something best left up to the admin that's dealing
with the disk full problem in the first place. After all, if it is
something like an errant app filling the mail spool, truncating the logs
just looses valuable logs while at the same time making room for the app
to keep on adding more to /var/spool/mail. That's just wrong. If you
run out of space, just quit logging things until the admin clears the
problem up. If you put this code in, make the admin turn it on. That
will keep opensm friendly to appliance like devices that are single task
subnet managers. But I don't think having this patch always on makes
any sense on a multi task server.
