• Shouldn't be possible for log file to crash system

    Currently if the log file grows (perhaps through some error) to fill the flash drive, the webgui becomes unresponsive, IMHO, this is a bug.

     

    Normally, the way this is handed is by a line in the log file that says something like >XXX lines similar to ZZZZ rather than expanding to fill all available size, alternatively, truncating part of the log file.

    Unless you have syslog server setup to mirror log to flash, log isn't on flash. It is in RAM just like the rest of the OS. And the amount of space it can take up in RAM is limited and can't cause crash.

     

    Are you actually filling flash drive? That would be very unusual. Not recommended to write to flash drive. and the OS doesn't normally write to flash except to record settings you make in webUI so they can be reapplied at boot.

     

    Even if mirroring with syslog server you should only do that for a limited time to capture log after crash.

     

    Are you sure you don't have something filling rootfs?

     

    When you have the problem, what do you get from command line with this? 

    df -h /

     

    Also, please amend your report so it follows report guidelines. At the very least test in SAFE mode and include your diagnostics.
