How much data can the T3s /syslog file hold?

A. The /syslog file on the T3 has a file size limit of 1MB. After 1MB, it gets moved to /syslog.OLD (which also has a 1MB limit). A nasty problem that goes unchecked can easily fill up both files with the same repeating error. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you set up message logging to a remote host. For example, log messages to a /var/adm/messages.t300 file on your data host.
