var/log/messages-20071117 is 9GB!!!
Suddenly i could not log to kde as a simple user.
I came to conclusion that kde could not be loaded cause i had only 17mb of free space.checked HD's and found that
var/log/messages-20071117 which text document is 9GB!!!
ALso var/log/messages(system log) is 2.7 GB.
I dont know the contents of these files and cant really open them to see cause they want like 3 hours each to open.
Could someone explain why this is happening and how can i prevent this from happenning again?
If it helps i did a fresh install of suse 10.3 one week ago.SO all these files are created during the last week
Thnx a lot in advance
