Some got a log on the several gigabytes range, filling the entire partition. To repair the system the file was deleted, so that it is unknown why it is lo large. It was commented here not too long ago.
Perhaps you could examine that log and determine why it is so large, then open a bugerport on bugzilla - sending the log to them is probably not practical.
Perhaps try compressing with lzma - logs compress a lot with that one. Maybe it gets down to a practical size.

I had something similar happen again here on a different machine, but with zypper.log It had grown to over 16 GB and filled up my root partition. I had left it updating with Kupdater. After it was restarted, a regular user couldn't even log in. This has happened to me on 2 different computers. Not nice at all. So for me, after my over 16 GB log files, 250 MB seem small. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
