[opensuse-factory] 37M in /var/log/zypper.log
On one TW system, freespace on / is in seriously short supply. Shrinking this log looks like would put a serious dent in the problem, if its content made any sense. It covers a span of only 27 days. /etc/logrotate.d/ has 3 zypp* files, none of which look like might allow a log to get so large. No man page for zypper.log. /var/log/messages is big too, 18M, and /var/log/pbl.log is 13M. Ideas? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Those are not that big. If it were gigabytes, nor megabytes... Anyway. There is a systemd timer job that should run logrotate periodically. in 13.2, if the machine is not powered up at the exact required time, logs never rotate. I don't know if the situation has been corrected yet in TW. (in 13.1 and earlier the situation does not arise, the problem was solved decades ago) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

The problem exists. Cristian just wrote that he solved the issue, but has not mentioned how, or what people need to do to get it. Maybe it is a patch for factory, so does not apply to 13.2, unless it can be backported. Maybe your machine was running at the precise time. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

logrotate.timer has 12 hours accuracy with daily run which means system must be on some time between 00:00 and 12:00. The possible problem for those who *updated* to 13.2 was that systemd.timer did not get activated on update. This is unfortunate situation that was discussed on systemd list but I do not think any resolution is available - there is no way to know whether unit is not active because it simply was not activated or because it was intentionally not or deactivated. So even though defaults are changed to enable service, these defaults are not reapplied on update.

Check what how? My TW test systems are often run between 00:00 and 05:00, infrequently between 05:00 and 12:00, and usually less than an hour at a time. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Sorry, was a typo. It was logrotate.timer of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
