Hello!
My SuSE box stopps logging the /var/log/messages since the Sep. 11th.
-rw-r-----    1 root     root       530468 Sep 11 11:44 messages
-rw-------    1 root     root           12 Sep 14 10:04 messages.offset
 
what is the message.offset good for?
# less messages.offset
10817
530468  #--> that is exactly the size of my messages file.
 
I am a bit worried.
