2012-09-28 19:14:28 Adam Stokes description We're seeing syslog messages during installers runs truncated to 256 chars. This is annoying. Digging into the debian-installer source, its calling /sbin/syslogd from the initrd - this is a busybox binary. In the busybox source, there's a config variable CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE that defaults to 256. From the code, that looks to be the problem. Can we either - 1. fix busybox to use a dynamic buffer, or 2. bump the config variable up to 1024 or so? I'm perfectly happy with solution 2 :) [Impact] Users relying on busybox within their environment and attempting to do any sort of debugging of logs. [Test Case] Run the installer, parse logs from syslogd packaged within busybox. [Regression] Minimal, only doubling buffer size for syslogd within busybox.
