plain text log files please ..
I liked that argument and repeated it a lot, but what means plain text.
Ok lets try another way round that then shall we hows about Human Readable not containing any of the upper 128 Chars of the Character set .
No it is not. Human readbale is what you can see with your eyes, not with a help of the
You got some strange ideas and way of trying to corrupt what people say think we should name it the "Rodriguez method "
computer programs; just as stated in previous email:
What the jiggers are you on
Log is not paper copy, which requires only eyes to read it.
If you need text editor, bash and kernel to read something, then what is the difference to use specialized, a little bit more complicated editor that will output text that you can read, but that text will be stored in way that is convenient for computer to handle it, and it take lesser space on a disk.
I could care less about disk space i may have when i first started in the computer industry when 5Mb was a massive disk and no one would ever need more that 640Kb of ram but not now so that is invalidated Oh and we are talking of a Disk almost 2 feet in diameter needing a huge motor to wind it up to speed
What you loose? 1) Ability to use primitive interface between you and logs that have to be huge just to satisfy that primitive interface. 2) Need to learn log file format. 3) Need to compress log every now and then with logrotate. 4) Need to expand logs when you want to read archived copies created with logrotate.
Total bull fodder
What you gain? 1) Ability to store more information in the same space. 2) Ability to write and read logs faster then before. 3) Ability to scan for events faster then before.
Even more total bull fodder

Nope just plain old boring no special tools text please the only way lets get away from this darn windowsisation of Linux and head back to a more friendly way of life
"Darn windowization" :) Ideologists are in general detached from reality.
No just i got the ability to see where you are trying to lead us and it aint a nice place
There are good and bad ways get work done with huge gray zone between them. Is it forbidden to go forward, use better way to do a job, just because it resembles on some other (proprietary) solutions?
As i said darn windowsisation , We are supposed to be better than that but they way a lot of you are taking Linux you will assist in it's death
