Not again! thanks, for the warning pulse auto did the same thing before and we patched it to limit logging rate but on fedora ML some people said that we should actually fix the logging system http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/230807-messages-eat-my-ha... I quote But still, I think the biggest issue here is that rsyslog doesn't enforce any kind of rate limitting and is happy to let random users fill up /var. This is a first-class DoS. Simply do a "cat /dev/urandom | strings | logger" and you can make the whole system go bonkers. And it won't even be accounted to your own disk quota. Yay.
