Robert, are you sure it does not work in 11.1? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, it should be set up automatically. You seem to have it in place (the script in cron.daily dir).

This indicates that since applying David's fix you have two logrotate entries for zypp-refresh.log, thus _now_ is the log allowed to grow indefinitely.
Before I read the thread on the opensuse mailing list, my zypp-refresh.log had grown to 9.2GB, leaving /var/log 'out of space'.
The size suggests that there was some kind of erroneous massive logging, i suspect bug 469872 (fixed, an update for 11.1 is pending). So the file has grown up in very short time, well before cron could execute logrotate.
Since applying David Rankin's fix, it has remained at 2.1MB. However, the lines I've pasted above seem to suggest the file is corrupted in some way.
This is the only thing thing that still puzzles me :O) I guess you removed the huge file manually and the log did not grow too much since then? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Since then, it seems to stay constant at 2.1M. I shall now remove the Rankin fix, as it's duplicated.

Note that until you apply the fix of bug 469872, which is yet to be released, the log can eventually grow again (it happens on network timeouts). As for this bug report, it is fixed in 11.1, and i suggest to leave it unfixed for 11.0. As this is reported for 11.0, closing as WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
