Since I run a single-user dedicated server, I killed cpanellogd. Now I'm finding that about once a day at random times, the server crashes with an error of "file size limit exceeded." I think it's processing one of the cpanellogd log files. I'm also finding there is something taking up gigs of space in /usr . Any ideas?
Do you have log files on the server that are approaching 1 GB in size? If so, that can cause issues.
The file system limit is usually 2 GBs.
Killing cpanellogd means many of the logs created by various processes are not being rotated. This can be resolved by looking in /usr/local/cpanel/cpanellogd for the list of logs and adding that list to the logrotate configuration. Or just re-enabling cpanellogd
