Description Nathan Caldwell 2007-01-16 03:44:34 UTC

Beagle generates an excessive amount of logging information. It seems to get stuck in an infinite loop when indexing my drive, and because it's set to debug logging it generates about ~100MB an hour, quickly eating up several GB of disk space in log files. I have no problem waiting for upstream to fix the loop, but diskspace is important. The old ebuilds attempted to fix this by using sed to change from Debug to Info, but this stopped working on 0.2.14, and has recently been removed completely from the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run beagled
2. Wait for it to start it's infinite loop
3. Watch as free disk space slowly diminishes.

Actual Results:  
Ran out of disk space :(

Expected Results:  
Logging should default to a lower setting
