I am on Ubuntu 18.04
I was constantly getting Filesystem.root not enough space warnings. So, I searched on the web a little bit and learned how to inspect disk usage by,
sudo baobab
Then I saw that, /var/log was 74 GBs and I surprised. I looked inside that directory and saw sys.log was almost 72 GBs.
I have solved the issue by emptying the content of that syslog document by following the solution here.
For now, it looks like it is solved, however I wonder what might have been the reason for such large log file? Is that usual?
Thanks.
UPDATE
I now figured out that I haven't solve anything, it just filled up to 30 GB again in minutes, so I guess something is wrong,
I inspected syslog by
cat syslog | more
Some part of the output is :

NOW, it looks like I am getting infinitely many errors in seconds, and it fills up the syslog document. However, I am incapable of locating what is the problem and how should I correct it.
Thanks.
