Description of problem: The "size" configuration statement of logrotate only works when a time config is present ("daily", "weekly", etc..). So it seems the "size" config statement behave like logrotate man page define its "minsize" config statement. I did many testing and my log where only rotated when they were bigger than my size config AND when a "daily" was configured. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.7.4-7 How reproducible: - Logrotate configuration - # keep 1 year of logs (if daily rotation) rotate 365 # no rotation on empty log files notifempty # don't report an error on configurated log files which are missing missingok /path/to/my/dir/*.log { compress size=100k } Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove the status file /var/lib/logrotate/status 2. Launch logrotate with the given config Actual results: No logs are rotated Expected results: Logs > 100k should be rotated as gz file Additional info: If i add the "daily" config statement in the given config and then do what is written in "Steps to Reproduce" and then if I change the OS date to simulate a day later and launch logrotate again, it will rotate logs which are bigger than 100k !
