/var/log is getting to 100% full - dont know why

[desertfox_0815]

Hey @all 

my unraid server just completly filled my log device.

i was able to save a diagnostigs file.

could someone tell me what was happening here?

i've resized the logdev to 4096M but is was filling up again.

 

reboot was only possible with a hard reboot from cli, rebooting in gui did not work. 

Also stopping the array and unmounting usershares did not respond.

 

thanks alot, i'm kinda worried.

Possibly not the only problem, but it's a problem, so start here:

 

Oct  7 10:21:22 Tower kernel: macvlan_broadcast+0x10a/0x150 [macvlan]
Oct  7 10:21:22 Tower kernel: macvlan_process_broadcast+0xbc/0x12f [macvlan]

 

Macvlan call traces are usually the result of having dockers with a custom IP address and will end up crashing the server, switching to ipvlan should fix it (Settings -> Docker Settings -> Docker custom network type -> ipvlan (advanced view must be enabled, top right)).

 

Then reboot to clear the logs and post new diags if there are other issues.

I will do so asap. Will report, thanks

So, switched to ipvlan and rebooted the server cleanly.

here is the new diag file

Looks good so far, post new diags if the log starts filling up again.
