Package: netatalk Version: 2.0.3-11 Severity: important
With an unconnected interface (i.e. no cable connected) and another connected interface, the syslog fills with spam. Some of it is from the kernel (apparently netatalk is constantly trying to use the interface resulting in NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth5: transmit timed out eth5: Tx timed out, cable problem? TSR=0x42, ISR=0x0, t=1388. the NETDEV message is at the kern.info level and Tx at kern.debug every few seconds and atalkd[8135]: rtmp_packet interface mismatch at the daemon.info level The spam at the info level makes finding actually relevant messages in /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern, and /var/log/daemon Not to mention that the syslog is useless. I've filed other syslog spam bugs a long, long time ago and nothing has happened with them. This is not a good thing since the logs are supposed to contain useful information not be full of spam.
