It seems the extreme verbosity is because of sqlite3. I read just a bit the docs and I see that mediatomb and excluding the -l option there where be no logs.
IMO a well made patch should decrease sqlite3 verbosity. With the attached patch the logging can be disable via /etc/default/mediatomb file. ** Patch added: "logging disable option via /etc/default/mediatomb" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mediatomb/+bug/488318/+attachment/4364832/+files/mediatomb.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488318 Title: Excessive Log Files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mediatomb/+bug/488318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
