I have been running SuSE 9.0 for about 6 months and while the system has never slowed down, I am beginning to think that with all the logging linux does, that the log files are getting a little large. [snip]
There's the file (IIRC) /etc/logrotate.conf, that tells logrotate what logs to rotate. Check /var/log for huge files, which might indicate suitable candidates. Thanks James. If I had just read the damn man page as Patrick suggested I would have seen that that is indeed the case.
Had a look through my /var/logs/ and didn't see anything over 200k that was aged ie not having been created today bar a couple of 2Mb messages<date>.gz files. -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================
