Hello,
telling from the process table there are no other logd's (see below). But i have to admit that i do not know how to check for the "/proc/kmsg" sources you mention. i haven't been into logging like this before :-)
however, removing the
file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
from the source has fixed the hanging problem. but why? i certainly don't want to miss any messages...
something else is reading /proc/kmsg in addition to syslog-ng, and in this case, the one losing the race condition blocks, until the next kernel message.
