Subject: /proc/kmsg memory usage ?
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 16:15:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <02010416152401.00607@box.localdomain> (raw)

Hello,

I am hoping someone here can point me towards the right documentation / web 
page.

I want to find out what happens to kernel messages in /proc/kmsg if they are 
not read.

Specifically, 
Are they cleared after a specified amount of time (eg every 24 hours) ?
Are they cleared when they occupy a maximum size ?
If they are not read will the memory they occupy grow indefinately ?
