Funny stuff in my logs
I am at a loss, been running apache all of a few weeks, on OSX, forgive me
is this is a total newbie question
/var/log/httpd/error_log
jam packed with hundreds of lines, most one after the other, no date, no
time
"statfs failed because: No such file or directory"
Any idea what this is?

The last thing I can think of is statfs is the name of C function. So I
tried 'man statfs' in my Linux box. Here is the first sentence from
DESCRIPTION section: "statfs returns information about a mounted file
system".
If this is your case, the question is: what is it trying to stat.

Thanks for the help Steven
Here is a summarization of where I am at now....
First I did a grep -r 'statfs\ failed' \r /
To see if any files on the entire apache server had that line in it, if it
did, I could see where any why it was reporting this to to apache log,
nothing showed up.
I thought maybe it was in a binary and I would not be able to read it with
grep, so off to download the source :-)
Got source on Perl, Php, Apache
Grepped out all those, and nothing at all either.
I ran tail on the error_log while watching the site requests, and I saw
nothing that correspnds with the lines in the error logs.
Geberally, a apachectl graceful, will restart the server, and then, in about
15 seconds, I get 4 lines in the error_log
statfs failed because: No such file or directory
statfs failed because: No such file or directory
statfs failed because: No such file or directory
statfs failed because: No such file or directory
Then nothing for a while, maybe 5 minutes, then a few more, sometimes more
than 4, sometimes less.
Had a few friends look into their error logs, all on OSX 10.1, and they also
are having this as well. I am going to make a guess here, all apple OSX
boxes are going to have this, any ideas where to go next?

Scott,
Sorry that I could not be more help. One issue that I had thought of
is that are you having it look for a file that is not there. Have you also
tried to access the site with a machine and see if there is a specific place
you go when the error happens??
I was thinking that maybe someone is trying to access the site and
it is going to a page that is not there...
Just a thought...

I have no idea, that is all that is in the log, if I tail on the log, I can
see them happening, is there something I can do to see what caused it, would
changing the log level help perhaps?

Any idea on the file that it is trying to access?? I spent about an hr
on the net last night look for this error. I could not find anything that
was UNDER MAC. Things for Linux, etc. The one thing that I
did find was that it was something that was expected under OS X.
It appears though that it was for the pre-release of X.

I really wish I could tell you more, that is what is so baffling
More /var/log/httpd/error_log
All it says is
statfs failed because: No such file or directory
That¹s it, no time, no date, nothing, just 15-20 lines of it, then nothing
for a little while, then another 15-20 lines, on and on.

Scott,
How about a little more information on this. What exactly are the logs showing
you? Also what is happening when it happens??
