the /var partion is properly filled with data there, but oddly the /var/log/message file stopped last night at 02:something when i did the upgrade, and messages dont arrive there any more.
i have checked on that machine, the syslog-ng conf file is still okay, like on an opensuse 10.2 before, but the syslogd hangs in the memory being defunct 1 Z root 8043 8042 0 82 0 - 0 exit 22:21 ? 00:00:00 [syslogd] <defunct> i checked another still working opensuse 10.2 system and there it reads as follows: 5 S root 4350 1 0 75 0 - 412 - Sep30 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/syslogd -a /var/lib/dhcp/dev/log -a /var/lib/named/dev/log so my productionsystems syslogd is hosed. the runlevels and the symlinks are still there, it gets started, it even creates the syslog.pid file rcsyslog status Checking for service syslog:checkproc: Empty pid file /var/run/syslogd.pid for /sbin/syslogd running so how do i fix this syslogd now is now my main question after opensuse 10.3 managed to trash my machine :( all the partitions are mounted correctly, there is empty space on all devices, the klogd runs fine and looks the same as on a normal 10.2 system. only the syslogd gets defunct :( thanks for any hints in this matter. cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
