syncdaemon logfile disk space leak

[John K]

Today I found over 100 gigabytes worth of logfiles in ~/.cache/ubuntuone/log, increasing at maybe a gigabyte or so each hour. syncdaemon.log was about 20 gigs and the date-specific one (for the 18th but still in use today) was over 80.

I deleted them all without a problem, but it had consumed more than half of my remaining disk space (100gb/180gb) by that time, and if I hadn't glanced at my free space indicator it could have been a serious problem.

This has happened to me on both my laptop and my desktop. I had to delete the laptop file, but the file from
my desktop is still on the hard drive - unfortunately it is 6.5GB in size so I dont think I'll email it.

Hi John,

My apologies for the large log files. The good news is that we've fixed this bug. If you update to the latest client, this problem will go away.

Thank you,

Joshua
