I have 2GB /var partition with reiserfs filesystem, but it get full after 24 hours and the culprit is errors.log

Re: errors.log took over /var partition estate

I had the same thing going on (full /var after a day).
Google told me to append nohz=off to my kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Since then there are no more errors in the log-files. Could be a bug in the kernel and/or ndiswrapper (or somehow related)

Re: errors.log took over /var partition estate

If you compile your own kernel, you could try this patch
