[Bug 579910] New: Zypper.log takes the whole filesystem
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579910 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579910#c0 Summary: Zypper.log takes the whole filesystem Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dark.orion@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6 Happened twice in two weeks. The laptop where it happens, is not updated frequently, so zypper log shouldnt be very big. The problem was spotted when it prevented from logging in to kde, as the filesystem was full. I checked the /tmp dir, and was empty, so I looked for the problem, and I was surprised that /var/log was about 15GB, and all that info was on zypper.log It's my gf laptop, so I have "limited" access, and she just wants it to work, so I made a init script, that deletes the zypper.log every time she boots. She usually hibernates the laptop, but I am the one who updates the system (maybe once per month) the content in /var/log/zypper.log was trivial to me (lots of repeated lines), but I'll take a look at it if necessary Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I dont know how to reproduce, as it's log related and we didnt use zypper Actual Results: The log fills the / filesystem, resulting in login problems (specially graphical related) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, in this case, you should update :O) Seem you have hit bug 469872. Zypper 1.0.17 has the cure.
Steps to Reproduce: I dont know how to reproduce, as it's log related and we didnt use zypper
The error happens on network timeouts, so it's pretty random. BTW, maybe it was a cron job (do you have Automatic Online Update configured?) or an updater applet that called zypper. In any case, it must have been zypper that caused this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 469872 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469872 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
