Heh, yeah, that could be a problem. :-)
But if the log is rotated frequently enough by default and the oldest revisions drop off, the problem might also have gone undiscovered for a bit longer (one could make that argument).
I think some people reported that the huge growth occurred in a day. With so fast a growth, there is little you can do, except stopping the application and removing the offending file. Compressing a file on a full partition is impossible. Logrotate happens once a day, I don't know if it can be increased. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
