Anyone else with a GL-E5800(EU) seeing /etc/sys_log getting pretty big?
Mine is already around 151 MB (100MB days ago) and seems to keep being written to:
-rw------- 1 root root 151.1M May 11 22:38 sys_log
Disk space is still fine, but I’m wondering if this is normal or if something is logging too much.
root@GL-E5800:/etc# ls -lah|grep log
-rw------- 1 root root 151.1M May 11 22:38 sys_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 16 2024 syslog.conf
root@GL-E5800:/etc# df -h

I do a little tail, and here is:

(The network is fine)
how big is your /etc/sys_log?
Does it design to be keep growing, or is it rotated/cleared at some point?
Also curious whether this being written to persistent storage could be an issue long-term (you know, flash/eMMC wear stuff), or if I’m overthinking it. Would it be better for this log to be stored under /tmp/log & rotated more aggressively?
