Hi Michael, I had the same problem with the write peals every other second a while ago, here some pointers in the right direction. >From the syslog.conf manpage: You may prefix each entry with the minus ``-'' sign to omit syncing the file after every logging. Note that you might lose information if the system crashes right behind a write attempt. Nevertheless this might give you back some performance, especially if you run programs that use logging in a very verbose manner. Note that entry means the full pathname of a log file in this context. Also, you might want to add the option 'noatime' to your partition entries in /etc/fstab. Have a look at 'man mount' for details. Basically, I added a '-' in front of every log file pathname inside /etc/syslog.conf, and added 'noatime' as an option for every partition entry in /etc/fstab, and this solved the problem.
