/var/log/messages Growing Tremendously

Hi, I can see the below mentioned logs writing every second into /var/log/messages.

"setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from ioctl access on the file /usr/share/perl5/Exporter.pm. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l e6a1fd7e-a8c0-44bc-91db-b550f85f31c2"

Can anyone help me to find the root cause of this and how to fix it also?

Thanks in advance,

George

Boot Messages Should Remain Hidden At Bootup Even After Pressing Any Keystrokes

hello,
I have a CentOS system and I want to prevent the boot messages from appearing during bootup. I have added the quiet option in grub.conf file which hides the boot messages, but after pressing the esc key or the arrows it shows up again.

Is it possible to hide it permanently?

Or not show the boot logs when the basic(esc or arrow) keys are pressed but assign a different set of key combos which when pressed, then only the boot messages should be visible.

Thankyou

Where Are /var/log/dmesg And /var/log/messages

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to fedora 21 (kernel version 3.17.8-200.fc20.x86_64) and I cannot find
/var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages !

Have been removed? Is this because the OS's are going to replace init? Or, this is a problem in my system?

'tmpfs' Size And Question

Hi all,

I have a system which maps "/var/log" as a "tmpfs" filesystem with a defined size of 32MB.

What will happen to my system if this becomes full? I have a system that is over-logging and writing too much to my "/var/log/messages" file.

For reference, my RAM on the machine is 2GB.

Would this cause the device to power cycle itself?

Squid Proxy Server (Rel 3.1) Getting TCP_DENIED/403 Error In Access.log

I've had this server up and running for over a year and just recently started getting TCP_DENIED/403 in the logs for a site we've been using forever. When users try to access the site they get "web page not available" messages in their browser. I verified the site and all other links on the site our in my white list. If I bypass the proxy it works just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Space Disk "used" In Df Is Nowhere To Be Found With Du

So as far as I understand, only /hadoop is a suitable suspect (as cumulative size of all the other folders on "/" are well below the 365GB)

Code:
[root@srv_omega hadoop]# cd /
[root@srv_omega /]# cd /hadoop
[root@srv_omega hadoop]# ls -lrtha

drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4.0K Nov 19 20:02 disk15
dr-xr-xr-x 27 root root 4.0K Apr 30 15:12 ..

All folders from 1 to 15 are on different filesystems, so the folder disk16 seems to be the only option but there is nothing in it.

Code:
[root@srv_omega hadoop]# cd disk16/
[root@srv_omega disk16]# ls -lrtha
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4.0K Jun  5  2014 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4.0K Jun  5  2014 .
[root@srv_omega disk16]#

I just don't get it; no folder seems responsible for the "365Gb"...

Any idea on how I could try to find out where those "365GB" are ?

Disable Warning Messages In Perl..

Hi All,

I'm not a perl programmer, so please help me to disable warning messages. I tried like commenting 'use strict' and 'use warning' in perl program. But it is not working.

All I want is to disable warning messages.

Please note its not actual ping program, But a perl wrapper for ping to display ping output in color (Cope).

Below is output:

Code:
$ ./ping google.com

Unfortunately, I cannot use output error redirection because all the perl programs are in PATH.

Thunderbird Weird Behaviour, Mouse Cursor Whites Out Screen

Arch linux, recent installation, Thunderbird has been working well so far.

FWIW, I have Thunderbird running in two different OS's on a multiboot machine; both of them have their mail-folders and address-book entries sym-linked to a data partition, a system that has been working well for me for a year or two.

Just started happening earlier today... some of my folders I can click on, but clicking on others either just brings up a blank pane, or the mouse cursor changes to a rotating/buffering cursor, and if I move the mouse around the screen, it "whites-out" the message listing in the pane, observable in the horrible-quality video referenced below. The messages themselves don't seem to be affected, I can access the same content from another OS on the same machine. If it means anything at all, the two folders that *do* open normally when I click on them are the two folders with the smallest number of messages stored in them, but *none* of them are storing ridiculous amounts of messages. (Nor am I using more than a trivial percentage of available disk space.) The "buffering" cursor will continue indefinitely, but returns to normal when I click again on one of the two folders still acting normally.

Does this behaviour look remotely familiar to anyone?
