Re: rsyslogd suddenly went crazy (120% cpu)

Hi Harald,

Better bug link:

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974132

 Turns out this is ultimately a journald bug (and explains why journalctl
 has been busted for me lately). But still, if you're hit by it, you're
 going to want to nerf rsyslogd ASAP, because until you do, it will
 spam /var/log/messages until your disk is full. Mine had reached 8GB by
 the time I noticed. Some other poor bugger's got to 30GB 

Thanks for the hint & pointer - by deleting the journal I was able to solve
the effects to my system.

Thanks, Clemens
