OpenAI Codex’s logging bug can wear out a 1 TB SSD in under a year
Codex CLI writes ~640 TB of diagnostic data per year to a local SQLite log, exceeding typical SSD endurance. The default TRACE‑level logging cannot be disabled via RUST_LOG, so long‑running sessions can exhaust disk space and wear the drive. Redirecting the log to RAM or waiting for a patch mitigates the risk.
