Unlike what I thought or hoped, using an upstream kernel (5.4.43-050443-generic x86_64) is not a workaround. I just had the same issue again.
** Description changed: 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. + edit: not true actually, this happened again using this upstream kernel. + + 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881214 Title: syslog and kern.log grow endlessly - related to Intel wifi?
