This week I started receiving the following notification.  I did just change my server platform from AMD to Intel a few days before I started receiving these.

 

Subject: cron for user root /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null

error: error writing to /var/log/unraid-api/unraid-api.log.1: No space left on device
error: error copying /var/log/unraid-api/unraid-api.log to /var/log/unraid-api/unraid-api.log.1: No space left on device

 

There are a lot of authlimit errors from what appears to be my iPad when I am either on my local network 10.27.72.131 or my tailscale VPN 100.114.139.47.  I am not sure what the reason would be for these error or if these are new as the hardware swap had me rebooting my server a few times. I've never received the notification above before that I can recall.

 

Other than the notification above and Fix Common Problems now sending my a notification today that my log is filling up, everything seems to be running fine.

 

Unraid Connect Plugin is version 2025.02.21.1240.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Added Currently Installed Unraid Connect Plugin Version

Oh! This actually looks simple. Your var/log only has 57M available, but /var/log/unraid-api contains ~68M of logs, which is more than that, so it doesn't have enough space to copy it (as part of logrotate).

Short term, you can delete the log files inside /var/log/unraid-api. The log output location was recently changed to /var/log/graphql-api.log recently for compatibility with the diagnostics tool. We also fixed an issue that generated a crap ton of logs.

 

Long-term, if you have long-uptimes and this issue persists, you could look into increasing the amount of ram allocated to /var/log. I found another forum post talking about it, and there seem to be many results on google as well. 

 

Thank you!

 

I had found the topic you linked but wanted to make sure my issue was not a something larger than that before I started throwing more variables into the mix :).  Of course I just changed my hardware so anything "new" was treated as possibly related to that.  I deleted the logs and will increase the ram allocation as well.
