RE: [syslog-ng] syslog-ng 2.0.4 hang

Hi,

I've encountered a strange problem. I'm using syslog-ng 2.0.4 with a fairly basic setup, and syslog-ng hangs when it is reading from /proc/kmsg, but only right after boot and only on one of my machines, which is a RHEL AS3 machine.

It is reproducible, the host hangs on every boot as every process which tries to write to /dev/log gets blocked.

Has anyone seen such behaviour?

Replying to myself: adding log_fetch_limit(1) for the /proc/kmsg source solved the issue.
