Hello,
I have an unreliable FC2 / 2.6.5 kernel machine. I
am running it as a file server. From time to time the
machine "hangs" or puts out lots of messages of the
form
<+0x0nnnnnnn> ... debug info ...
I am guessing these are kernel error messages. I
want to capture these messages so I can post them when
an error occurs. At the moment the messages are not
written to any file that I can find - so I can't
retreive them, then post them once I restart the
machine.
Now the reading I have done has got me as far this
this .....
The kernel messages are directed to the console
because of the following setting
/etc/syslog.conf
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
kern.* /dev/console
My question is
Can I change this to
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
kern.* /syslog/CRLconsolelog
So all messages are written to a file?
Can I get the messages written to BOTH a file and the
console at the same time?
Will this capture ALL Error messages that appear at
the console?
What happens if the machine goes into a loop - I don't
realise - and eventually the file fills the whole
disk? Will I then be able to restart Linux?
Anyway of cycling this "kernel/console message" log
file automatically?
Thanks
Clive
