today something happend to my ubuntu 16.04 server running plesk onxy.
the server was unreachable, so i did a hard reset.



after looking into /var/log/syslog, something strange was shown:
syslog-output
kern.log output



Did anyone else has seen this before? The hard-reset of the server was on 23:23:51, so the Kernel Messages seems to be "normal". But the really strange party are those @-signs and there was no log during 23:06 and 23:23.
Any idea what happend on my server?



if you need more information feel free to ask me!



Thanks in advice

  • This happens a lot in the case of hard power off. Usually represents corruption/half written lines. I'd examine /var/log/syslog, and also /var/log/kern.log. The null bytes by themselves really don't tell you anything unfortunately. :/
