Morning folks.  the Fix Common Problems tool is reporting that my /var/log folder is 100% full.  I've increased it's size in my go file to:

 

# Enlarge the LOG partition (because Dynamix System Stats needs at least 186Mb, default LOG is 128Mb)
mount -o remount,size=512m /var/log

 

and have rebooted the system.  The contents of the folder, though, 1) haven't updated in quite some time, 2) there's not much in there:

 

 

 

I've attached my diagnostics as well.

 

Any ideas?

Not applicable anymore. Changed a long time ago and dynamix system stats stores the information files in a different location.

What is the output of

df

Yeah - I had copy/pasted the comment from an older thread previously about increasing the size.

 

here's the df output:

 

Well, Fix Common Problems isn't lying. Your /var/log is 100% used.

Try this

Looks like syslog is somehow getting filled up.

Looking at the end of the log file, tons of these:

Seems to have something to do with sensors. Remove system temp plugin and reboot.

Thanks.  Have removed it and rebooted.  We'll see how it goes.
