 |
|
After updating to syslog-ng-4.8.1 today I received lots of messages like the following. Usually immediately after syslog-ng added a line to /var/log/messages:
| Code: | | syslog-ng[2572]: Error invoking seek on file; filename='/dev/kmsg', error='Invalid argument (22)' |
Here are the details:
Rebooting does not affect the issue.
My workaround is to downgrade. (emerge =app-admin/syslog-ng-4.6.0 -- The /dev/kmsg error messages are gone.)
When using syslog-ng-4.8.1, some message lines in /var/log/messages are followed immediately by the /dev/kmsg seek error message. Here are some examples:
| Code: |

Note: "inRules" above is from my ipTables configuration.
Any ideas on this /dev/kmsg seek error? |

There is a bug open for that: https://bugs.gentoo.org/945490
Like you I just went back to 4.6.0 for now. Not because of the above mentioned bug, which has a work around, but because the upgrade to 4.8.1 clobbered my /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file for some reason that I haven't figured out yet. |
