Help - usb-storage filling up logs!

[revoohc]

I need some help, for some reason, when I am using usb-storage and using either my usb2 hd or my usb1.1 drive, usb-storage starts filling up my log space in /var/logs.

I'm not sure what is going on here, but it is very frustrating since I try to do a backup a couple of times a week to the usb2 drive but it tends to cause problems due to filling up my /var. Any ideas on what is going on here?

Thanks,

Thanks a bunch for pointing that out. I guess I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other since I've been looking for that for quite some time.
