Hi,

I'm experiencing sporadic kernel hangs on different machines running Ubuntu 
Natty (rsyslog 4.6.4). The machines need to be rebooted to recover. What I 
noticed after the machines come back is that syslog and kern.log have not been 
updated for some time (anywhere from a few minutes to several hours) prior to 
the hang. Interestingly, the updates of syslog and kern.log stopped at 
different times. Whether this has anything to do with the later hang or is an 
early indication that something is wrong, I don't know. If I were to catch a 
machine in this state, what can I look at to try to figure out why logging to 
the filesystem stopped? I can't run rsyslog in debug mode. I could attach gdb 
to the running rsyslog process but don't know what to look for.

Thanks
...Juerg
