Title:
syslog and kern.log grow endlessly - related to Intel wifi?
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu Mate 20.04, with all supplied kernels up to 5.4.0.33
I occasionally see a message on my screen that disk space is low. I
try rebooting since my computer is unresponsive. Normal reboot does
not work, sudo reboot does not work. I have to power off the machine
using power button. Machine boots but hangs because its trying to
repair journal info.
I can't see what causes that since I was not using my computer at the
time.
So with a live session, I can see that syslog and kern.log files have
grown to several GB until the drive is full.
When using an upstream kernel 5.4.43-050443-generic x86_64, I haven't had any
problem so far.
Never had this issue with previous Ubuntu versions with the very same
hardware configuration, since 16.04.
Included: partial syslog and kern.log with the same message repeated
over and over.
