I upgraded from 1.4.14 to 1.5.24 because I needed support for named pipes. Now the daemon hangs every few hours or so (with or without the use of pipes). All the output files (about 90 devices) have the same last timestamp. It happens a dozen or more times a day with no obvious pattern in the timing. Does seem to be proportional to volume (doesn't hang overnight). The output actually stops mid-message. Many of the files are 2GB or more. kill -HUP or syslog-ng restart seems to clear the problem up (continues writing to the same large files). syslog-ng conf file is about 10k with about 20 filter/log/destination combo's. Any ideas? If you want to see the config, let me know, I just didn't want to clutter the list...
hmm.. as it seems your syslog-ng process blocks for some reason. A couple of possibilities: 1) you have a /proc/kmsg source and klogd is running 2) syslog-ng hangs on a DNS query 3) there's a bug in syslog-ng please confirm that neither 1) or 2) is true. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
