*** And that doesn't make you worry? A plain ASCII file of 270Mb...!?? I
don't even want to know how you read that log. Opening a 270Mb log file in
vi is probably an experience.
The way I see it you have to choices: Either you disable logging because
apparently your not reading them anyway or you have a look in
/etc/logrotate.conf and try to see why it doesn't rotate anymore.
I advice you to stop syslogd, either copy the "message" file manually to
any place you want to keep it and zero the original (> message) after which
you should run logrotate manually
logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
to see if it gives you errors. Don't try to experiment with the 270Mb file
in place because you're probably going to freeze your machine.
Good luck and keep us informed about the results.
