/var/log/ksym*oops*

[chuck]

Today, I turned on my linux computer, and noticed everything going quacky. When I looked in my logs I saw out of space errors. So I df -m'd and saw 0 space left. I started thinking one of my vps's got r00ted (I was running some odd programs) and started searching my logs. Later, I noticed I had lots of old logs and checked the space in the log directorys. They where about 16m each, not bad. So I went and checked the host linux and saw a log directory with 300~mbs of space being wasted. I quickly checked the logs size and saw this:

121mb's. I never even knew that much could ever be logged in 3 months. So I googled to be safe, and rm'ed it. Now I can actuly run java code on this machine. :)
