Hello, I've configured in syslog.conf(5) the log files in /tmp and not /var/log; /tmp is a memfs to reduce writes to SSD: # mount ... /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local) provided via /etc/rc.conf.local as: tmpmfs="YES" tmpsize="128m" and syslogd should create the log files on start because it is started with syslogd_enable="YES" syslogd_flags="-s -C" on reboot it seems that syslogd has no logfiles (as I can see with lsof), but after I restart it with # /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart all is fine; maybe this is because syslogd is started before tmpmfs is ready? in RELENG_7 it worked exactly this way, now in CURRENT not; any idea how to solve this? matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
