If your system becomes unresponsive because of the logging, you can turn 
it of by running 'sudo service rsyslog stop'. But syslog is not the 
cause of your problem. You should analyse these files and find out why 
they fill up. If I google "ou read error" I only get french results. Are 
you using a localized ubuntu version? It looks like your getting disk 
errors, could you post the output of the command: 'tail /var/log/kern.log'?
