April 28, 201214 yr my usb ports are flaky but the server is 100% functional. i'm worried that the constant errors being recorded in the syslog that something will run out of memory or space and crash the server.
April 28, 201214 yr If it fills RAM the server will crash. The log is "rotated" every day if it grows over a certain size. That works for a gradual growth. You can see them as /var/log/syslog.1, etc... A rapid series of messages on a single day can fill the syslog, use all available RAM and crash the server.

Isn't /var/log/syslog.1 stored in the RAM disk?
