Excessive Logging on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion: Repair the Keychain to solve the issues. ( deny file-read-data )
Lots of people complain about slow Mac OSX Lion performance, mostly caused by thousands of Log-Messages being written to the system log files. As Chief Tarun points out at the Apple Support Forums
I opened up the console app, and there were hundreds, if not thousands of logs just in the past 2 hours. And when I say 'get info' on Macintosh HD the used disk space is increasing every 5 to 10 seconds. This is the only concerning bug/glitch of noticed in Lion since upgrading.
I had exactly the same issue, checking my Console.app messages that told
"WebProcess(225) deny file-read-data /Users/foobert/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/com.adobe.amp.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1/ PrivateEncryptedDatak"
While one would think that uninstalling Adobe AIR would fix the issue, the problem resides at another point.
Solution:
1) Open "Keychain.app"
2) Go To "Keychain Access -> Keychain First Aid" to repair your Keychain.
Now the console messages disappeared and the system runs in "silent mode" again.

Didn’t work for me. All keychains were fine, but I had a couple Adobe Datak keychains, which I deleted (and references). That did it.

I repaired the keychain as you suggested, and it worked …thanks so much for your help! The excessive logging came to a halt, and the keychain app showed which file it repaired.

Did not work for me. I ran KeyChain First Aid and no problems were reported. Earlier I had deleted one Adobe Datak keychain. The console log continues to report many Adobe Air messages. System also locks up forcing a hard reboot to get control back. All of this started with 10.7. Recently updated with 10.7.1 – no change.

Initially I thought this worked for me, but it turns out it didn’t :(
I’m not running an English version of Lion, but the place you need to repair the keychain is the window where you get two options, to “check/verify” and “repair”, and you have to enter your password below your username too, right?

UPDATE – It seems it worked after I removed the adobe Datak keychains, I had like 5 or 6 of them in my keychain. Since removing them, the console has not given me the error since.
