[Bug 115774] Re: graceful full disk handling. syslog.0 and kern.log.0 grow huge

[Ray T]

Fixed.. by running

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel 

updated driver seems to be doing the job!

Title:
  graceful full disk handling. syslog.0 and kern.log.0 grow huge

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  These two log files recently grew to over 1 Gb each.  I only noticed
  when I booted up and X failed to start, giving a warming about not
  being able to write to /tmp.  I later discovered that this error was
  due to lack of partition space and that /var/log had become bloated.
  I deleted syslog.0 and kern.log.0 and all is well.  This bug may be
  related to Bug #71870.

  My kernel is 2.6.20-15-generic
  Version is Kubuntu 7.04
  My hard drive is partitioned thus:

  hda1 - WinXP (ntfs) - 10 Gb
  hda5 - windows user files (ntfs) - 30 Gb
  hda6 - / (ext3) - 7 Gb
  hda7 - swap - 2 Gb
  hda8 - user space (fat32) - 2 Gb
  hda9 - /home (ext3) - 25 Gb
