Hello,

we are currently working on a fix for a very similar report:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015580

A likely fix we are testing at this moment, is the addition of the 'delaycompress' directive.


Even though you also list the 'sharedscripts' directive, I don't believe it is necessary.
Could you please explain further the necessity of the 'sharedscripts' directive in your specific case please ?

Comment 2 Leon Fauster 2022-02-07 09:22:46 UTC

The suggestion is mainly inspired from

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/blob/main/f/mariadb-logrotate.patch

Comment 3 Michal Schorm 2022-02-07 10:05:37 UTC

And the Fedora code is inspired by the upstream suggestion:
  https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rotating-logs-on-unix-and-linux/#configuring-logrotate

The Fedora serves as a fine upstream for the future RHEL releases.
This Fedora code has been synced to RHEL 9:
  https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/mariadb/-/blob/c9s/mariadb-logrotate.patch

However in stable RHEL releases our goal is to preserve the stability and keep the changes minimal, so we won't add unnecessary directives.

Plese follow the BZ:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015580
to watch for progress on this issue.
I believe the 'delaycompress' directive will be sufficient solution to your problem.


Thank you for the report !
