Logger and . ignore logs, log noise et al

[NAS]

I am not running V5 so I am assuming this hasnt changed. If it has please tell me and I will close.

 

I have a number of folder on my cache drive using the . method to ignore. However even though they are not moved (as wanted/expected) they are logged.

 

for instance.

 

grep logger syslog* | grep xbmc | wc -l

359093

 

so thats 359,093 log entry's that I dont think anyone really cares about out of  567129 total.

 

Yes thats nearly 64 % of my logs

 

If we look for logs indicating duplicates

 

grep -i duplicate syslog* | wc -l

9244

 

Logs are important but these two alone count for most of syslog and has the knock on effect of pushing the really intersting stuff from boot time away prematurely.
