[Bug 739399] New: syslog can cause memory shortage condition on /dev
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739399 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739399#c0 Summary: syslog can cause memory shortage condition on /dev Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Blocker: --- I notice that when /dev/tty10 does not exist (various reasons, ranging from CONFIG_VT=n or number of ttys limited to less than 10 by changing MAX_NR_CONSOLES), rsyslog, and possibly other implementations by way of SUSE-shipped configurations, will nevertheless write something to /dev/tty10, if need be, creating a regular file. Given that /dev is tmpfs, this means that this tmpfs will be filled up sooner or later, leading to no new nodes being able to be spawned in /dev by udev due to ENOSPC. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
