This is a pretty major bug. A simple case of attempting to rotate logs in a directory that doesn't exist can lead to a complete, and mostly silent, failure of all log rotation on the system. Some services (for example Squid) will crash if they run out of log space and with log rotate silently failing it happened to us recently. I'll admit that we should have been monitoring free space on the /var mount point, however, this system has run for years without issues and suddenly a failed glob was keeping logs from rotating. This particular system can generate a lot of logs in burst, but normally logrotate deals with this and compresses them nicely keeping plenty of space. A silent failure for more than three weeks led to down time. Any hope that this will be fixed soon? Later, Tom Fixed, see #166510. This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks. Done. I still see this bug in FC6. None of my logs have rotated since Apr 06, due to this bug. --Ryan fixed in: FC6(testing) logrotate-3.7.4-10.fc6, rawhide logrotate-3.7.4-11.fc7. test it, please. Have run into what looks like this bug in RHEL-5 also. Should I open a new bug or switch this to RHEL-5? |
