Hello,

I'm happy with my Unraid server, but I keep getting this error repeatedly. I've solved it by rebooting the server.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

It might be worth seeing what output you get with

du -sh /var/log/*

from the command line to see if the culprit can be identified.

This timje, it shows as below :

So far, I've deleted syslog.1 but the error did occur again and again...

The diagnostics you posted earlier showed a MUCH smaller syslog.1 file so I was thinking there might be another culprit. :)     I can only suggest that looking at the contents of that file might give a clue as I would guess there is some error sequence continually repeating.   It might be a case of zipping up a large version of that file (it should compress well) and posting that if you cannot work out for yourself what is happening.
