Help, huuge /var/log/syslog 70GB+ OMG
MY slackware 14.1 has 76GB in size of a /var/log/syslog and I am the only user,fresh install about 1.5 months ago.
Something is very wrong. So, I checked: Code:
tail -n 40000 /var/log/syslog Code:
Feb 3 15:25:58 stockholm kernel: [13643.369874] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING I had to hard reset my laptop, IIRC. Any advice? Is it save to erase /var/log/syslog? It's 76GB it's ridiculous. |
seems like mei_me driver module has problems after suspend/resume
from what i found out its something for intel chipsets first rmmod mei_me check stuff, if everything works then add "blacklist mei_me" to /lib/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and you can delete it, its a log of system events in case something fails you can usually check there |
Don't delete it - too many potential problems with permissions/ownership. If there's nothing in it you care about, merely use
Code:
> /var/log/syslog |
If you've done a full install, the logrotate package should rotate those files every day at 04:40 am.
