Syslog cannot create syslog files - open error: No space left on device

[count-zero]

I have been experiencing an issue where my unraid server will become unresponsive after I upgraded to 6.12.6.

 

In troubleshooting this, I'm attempting to configure the syslog server to write to a share by following the guide in the FAQ.

 

However, I am seeing this error in the log when I attempt to configure the syslog server:

Dec  8 18:55:45 cherry rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.2102.0" x-pid="7935" x-info="https://www.rsyslog.com"] start
Dec  8 18:55:45 cherry rsyslogd: file '/mnt/user/syslog/syslog-192.168.1.2.log': open error: No space left on device [v8.2102.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2433 ]

 

There is plenty (1.2TB) free on the array, so I can't see why I'm getting this error.

 

Here is my syslog server config:

 

I'm at a loss for what to do... I've tried changing the split level in the share settings as well as changing the maximum file size in the syslog server settings. I still get the same error.

You should post your system's diagnostics zip file in your next post in this thread to get more informed feedback as we might spot something.  It is always a good idea to post this if your question might involve us seeing how you have things set up or to look at recent logs.

Gotcha, here are the diagnostics.

Share floor is set to 585GB, and disk4 has less than that free, adjust the floor setting.

Ah, yeah that did it. I set 'Minimum free space' to 1GB.

 

 

I had tried to do this in the past, but I didn't understand you can't just put 0B in there. When I did that, it just went back to whatever the calculated value was.

 

Thank you for looking at this! I'm now getting syslog files created.
