10.5: One fix for a runaway syslogd process
Authored by: cawaker on Nov 13, '07 08:35:03PM

I ran into this too a couple weeks ago, the asl.db was certainly being written to a lot, as was system.log. Both files hit 500mbs in minutes.

All i did was kill syslogd and it seemed to clear itself up.

So if you do notice this issue besure to nuke the above files so you dont mysteriously lose disk space.
