Chaim,

I'm not sure whether that response was meant for me to open a support call or not :-)

I did open a call and it ultimately found out that the upgrade changed the "nfs.mountd.trace" behavior. Turning this option off makes the logs look like they normally did. I verified that the option had been turned on prior to the upgrades but I never got any of these messages. Somewhere down the line the behavior changed.

Greetings,

I upgraded to 7.3.5.1P4 from 7.3.3P5 on January 1st. Since then my messages log files have gotten huge. My current one is 123 MB and the average size in December was 250K. I've always had the syslog.conf set up to send info levels to the messages file. Since the upgrade I've been getting a log of messages about things that used to never show up such as MNTPool and ExportPool entries. There are other entries that never showed up before either.

I like having the info level because it shows me who is connecting via cifs, time stamp update, nis updates, etc. I would rather not have to change all the logging to the warning level. Parsing through messages files with 800k lines in it is not pretty :-)

Is there another way to tune what shows up at the info level in 7.3.5?

Thanks,

Jeff
