space on disk running low error logging /var/log/cups/error.log












3















I have Lubuntu 16.10 installed on my disk mounted as /.



The problem is that the CUPS log file( /var/log/cups/error.log) grows all the time until I no have free space left on the disk...



So when I delete that file, the space on disk freed up again



I already tried:




  • fsck

  • disk usage analyzer

  • every apt-cleaning/autocleaning, and dependencies fixing.


How should I proceed?

  • I was tried that way also: remove access from foldre /var/log/cups, than give access again and error.log was appearing there. And now in that way its not works, can't get that log, and from disk analyzer info that only 6.5 GB is busy with software

I had the same problem. The log files grows very quickly and after a few hours it consumes all available space in /. At this point things start going really bad. Also the cups process hogs the CPU (100% in one core - that explains the 50% you see in a dual-cure).



Deleting the file at this point doesn't seem to help immediately. I guess the file is still in use by the cups process and it won't free the disk space... but after a reboot I got some free disk space and had time do investigate /var/log/cups/error_log.



Here's what I found in the first few lines



E [16/Oct/2016:09:48:02 +0300] MFCJ625DW: File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_mfcj625dw" has insecure permissions (0100775/uid=0/gid=0).

And then the last warning is repeated over and over again... over 45000 times per second! (No wonder the disk is filled after a short time)





Assuming you have a similar problem, note that the thing cups keeps complaining about is very simple to fix:



Directory "/usr/lib/cups/notifier" has insecure permissions (040775/uid=0/gid=0).



Once you change the permissions with sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/notifier, the file should stop growing. (while you are at it, fix the other files it complains about).

      Assuming you have a similar problem, note that the thing cups keeps complaining about is very simple to fix:



      Directory "/usr/lib/cups/notifier" has insecure permissions (040775/uid=0/gid=0).



      Once you change the permissions with sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/notifier, the file should stop growing. (while you are at it, fix the other files it complains about).

        I had the same problem. The log files grows very quickly and after a few hours it consumes all available space in /. At this point things start going really bad. Also the cups process hogs the CPU (100% in one core - that explains the 50% you see in a dual-cure).



        Deleting the file at this point doesn't seem to help immediately. I guess the file is still in use by the cups process and it won't free the disk space... but after a reboot I got some free disk space and had time do investigate /var/log/cups/error_log.
