ReadyNAS NV+ syslogd taking 100% CPU
Hi - I've got a Sparc-based ReadyNAS NV+ that I've had for years. Currently running RAIDiator 4.1.14; 4 x 2TB drives in Raid-X configuration, with about 300G/5.5T free. Lately, the NAS box ...
Any clues from e.g.
# tail -n 20 /var/log/syslog
As to what is causing the syslog to max out the CPU?
You can try with more lines than 20 if 20 is not enough.
Sounds like something must be spamming the syslog. It would be very helpful to know what that is.
The syslog daemon is the main daemon used for logging what happens on the NV+.
Do the SMART stats of the disks look fine?
SMART stats look okay. I can't check syslog without rebooting / reinstalling the OS, which clears syslog.
I'll run top/tail next time I reinstall to see what happens.
Please send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).

I'm not opposed to a factory reset or back-revving the firmware if I need to -- the device was very, very stable on the previous of firmware that I was running. I've only had trouble in the last few months, since I upgraded to RAIDiator 4.1.14.
Thanks for your help.
That log zip is incomplete. It only goes up to httpd_errors.log
I can see the data volume is getting very full and I wonder if your WD20EARS disk might be failing. Are you able to power down the ReadyNAS and remove that disk, hook it up to your PC and test it using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics?
