Description of problem: Fluentd is holding log files open that have been deleted. The inode locks stay in place for hours, possibly longer, if the fluentd container is not restarted. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.1.6


How reproducible: always, when metrics are on


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable openshift metrics
2. rotate system logs

Actual results:
logs removed by logrotate are still open and taking space

Expected results:
fluentd should eventually let the files go

Additional info:
See attached lsof output

Comment 3 Sten Turpin 2016-03-11 17:18:04 UTC
We ended up changing the fluentd image to set it to ignore gzipped/archived files, which has prevented issues with us running out of disk space.
