Hi,

I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on this weird behaviour of
OpenBSD 3.6.

A few days ago I ran out of inodes on my /usr filesystem, but I quickly
resolved the issue by deleting stuff and I now have plenty free.
However, I've just noticed that syslog hasn't logged anything since
around that time, and named is not responding properly either.

I have restarted syslogd with -d option, and although I can see
processes trying to log stuff in the debug output, none of the files
messages, daemon, authlog or secure in /var/log have had any data
appended to them.

Should I put this down to MP kernel weirdness, or is there some bug
lurking that the out of inodes error has aroused?

My dmesg was posted to misc not long ago, but currently all I get are
uid 0 on /usr: out of inodes.

Before I reboot, is there anything else I can try to see what's going
on? ktrace/kdump have not enlightened me.
