I could test once I have time to upgrade to 8.10; in the mean time I started logging to a named pipe to avoid the bug,
You could easily test yourself by adding that line to your syslog.conf, or even running the aforementioned function on a dummy file with that line. Or you could point me to a place where I can get /usr/sbin/syslogd- listfiles from 8.10 or 9.04 (or attach them to this bug) so I can test myself. I'm stunned that you set this to low priority though... This bug cause the log rotation script to create thousand of files in /var/log as long as you log everything (*.*) to a regular file and the end result over time is having login take very long time to run; in my case even timing out logins multiple times until enough directory entries could end up in the system cache. -- Bug in syslogd-listfiles causing insane log rotation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
