If you have inflated logs from the SELinux accounts-daemon bug, then rsyslog will still run the CPU to 100% for some time after the upgrade, because it'll be writing the entire journal out to /var/log/messages; but it will eventually complete and quiet down. Personally I recommend pruning the journal first if you have a huge journal full of those SELinux messages - if your system logs aren't that important to you, you can safely just blow away the larger (over 10MB) files in /var/log/journal and that should trim the journal down to a reasonable size. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
