Actually all systems are using Veritas Volume Manager to mirror the disk.

Wow, old thread of mine.

It appears to be disk/load related on the syslog server itself. These messages only appear in the middle of the night when a find job runs on the directories and files syslog-ng writes to and deletes old files (syslog-ng writes to files with a datestamp in the filename). When I don't run this script I don't have any problems. Funny thing is this happens on my boxes that are Netra 1125's, dual 400Mhz procs, 18GB 10000 RPM disks, but doesn't happen on my boxes that are Ultra 1's, single 84Mhz prco, 9GB 7200 RPM disks. Go figure. We're moving this stuff onto new hardware on a SAN so hopefully the problems will go away then.

Wild guess, are you using disksuite to mirror/manage those fast disks? That'll slow things way the hell down and take up all your CPU time when funning find. -- Nate "If builders built buildings they way computer programmers write programs, the first woodpecker that came along would have destroyed all civilization." - Weinberg's Law _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
