Hi Over the weekend I had a problem with one mysqld instance. This single instance flooded our entire syslog infrastructure with ~190mio log entries within 6 hours. The messages was: "140289656219584 [ERROR] Error in accept: Bad file descriptor" mysqld: /usr/sbin/mysqld Ver 10.1.16-MariaDB-1~trusty for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 (mariadb.org binary distribution) I will configure rsyslog to throttle such entries, but anyways, is this a known problem?
