I got a problem with suse 10.0 logging mechanism. It works properly in most instances except when I connect an external usb-2 device (ie. a hard disk). The external usb works fine BUT /var/log/messages becomes VERY huge VERY fast with tons of data from kernel - see below. Does anyone have any idea how to reduce the amount of output from the kernel for usb-storage. Thanks for any help and/or advice. Rgds.
Maybe it is set to "debug" mode somewhere. I don't know about that, but I know you could log all kernel messages to another file and rotate it faster - or even dump it without loging. That would be done in the syslog or syslog-ng config. With the later, you can instead filter out all usb-storage messages. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEPT5btTMYHG2NR9URAifmAKCR2iAYTxzHTygcUNFyVnF60MK7rACfX8j3 9XF2IrL5wbpgifOiQ6hhxiY= =SFV3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
