This makes syslogd(8) a bit more reliable. My sole concern with this is that this means that syslogd will keep trying to write to the full filesystem - and the kernel will log the attempts to write to a full filesystem. Whilst there's rate limiting in the kernel, this sort of feedback loop is undesirable. -- Peter Jeremy
