I was having a issue with something taking up my memory and not letting me boot, I have found the culprit - it’s my syslog
file in /var. It’s now 170 GB!
I deleted syslog.1
which was 64GB but it has only made things much worse because syslog
is now 10x bigger.
From what I have read online so far it’s because a repeating error in the file. The error I’m getting is:
docker.dockerd[1128]: time="2019-11-17T03:06:48.667249945+11:00"
level=error msg="failed to get event" error="rpc error: code =
Unavailable desc = all SubConns are in TransientFailure, latest
connection error: connection error: desc = \"transport: Error while
dialing dial unix /run/containerd/containerd.sock: connect: permission
denied\"" module=libcontainerd namespace=moby
I have no idea what this means but it’s taking up all space again and now I can't boot again, I will try and delete what little other files I have so that I can hopefully boot again but I need some help ASAP on getting this syslog
file fixed. Sorry if I seem impatient I’m just really starting to worry.
