/var: filesystem full - Server stopped working

[Nils Hildebrandt]

I have a big problem with our freeNAS Server. Monday it stopped working.
The log looked like this before i rebooted:

Code:

Jan  6 16:24:55 Storage kernel: pid 10224 (smbd), uid 0 inumber 9314 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:24:55 Storage kernel: pid 10217 (nmbd), uid 0 inumber 9273 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:00 Storage kernel: pid 1789 (syslogd), uid 0 inumber 9315 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:02 Storage kernel: pid 12696 (python), uid 0 inumber 34345 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:05 Storage kernel: pid 10217 (nmbd), uid 0 inumber 9273 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:15 Storage kernel: pid 10217 (nmbd), uid 0 inumber 9273 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:21 Storage kernel: pid 12678 (smbd), uid 0 inumber 9314 on /var: filesystem full
Jan  6 16:25:25 Storage kernel: pid 10217 (nmbd), uid 0 inumber 9273 on /var: filesystem full

After the reboot everthing worked well again. but i found out that the nmbd and smbd log file is very big and it gets bigger every day.
so how can i limit the size of the nmbd/smbd log to prevent these crashes? How can i set down the log level?

Any help is appreciated!!

I had a similar issue, see #3755. Future versions will feature an option to turn off logging.

Depending upon your FreeNAS version, you can also create a dataset named syslog so that the logs are automatically stored on the disks rather than the OS drive.

Does it store it on disk instead of USB/ramdisk? Not both? I didn't know this could be done.. An addition for the docs?

It's in the 9.2.0 version of the docs:
