logd causes /private/var/db/uuidtext/dsc to grow until disk is full

Question

logd causes /private/var/db/uuidtext/dsc to grow until disk is full

Hello,

I have a strange problem logd writes continuously files into /private/var/db/uuidtext/dsc until the disk is full:

I have checked all 3rd party extensions, startup items nothing that looks suspicious. Is there a way to decrypt the content of these files? Any ideas how to stop logd from going crazy?

Best,

Alex

I have a ticket opened with apple support, but no reply from their engineering team yet.
