But, from the posts here, the problem is not only that it is not rotated, but that the log can be huge, several gigabytes.
Because it is not rotated daily, if needed...
Even so; I keep logs for years and the total is not one gig. Even rotating logs of 15 GB, compressed, would involve too much space for a single log. I also have my doubts that you can gzip such a file.
It will be compressed nearly to nothing. Also rotation will only keep a backlog of "n" (configurable) old rotated ones.
If it gets that large in one day, something else is amiss.
That's the idea, that there are some unknown cases where it grows out of bounds.
These are seperate bugs :) Ciao, MArcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
