Bug 709034

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to reproduce it on F15 so far.

Could you please try to run "logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd.conf" (replace snmpd.conf with any config which fails) and paste whole logrotate output here and also the config file?

From source code I don't see how this is possible so far...

From logrotate output:

[11:46 AM] root@jacknife2:~# logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/snmpd.log  forced from command line (no old logs will be kept)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/snmpd.log
  log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/snmpd.log, log->rotateCount is 0
dateext suffix '-20110530'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
renaming /var/log/snmpd.log.1 to /var/log/snmpd.log.2 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1),
old log /var/log/snmpd.log.1 does not exist
renaming /var/log/snmpd.log.0 to /var/log/snmpd.log.1 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0),
old log /var/log/snmpd.log.0 does not exist
log /var/log/snmpd.log.2 doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of it
renaming /var/log/snmpd.log to /var/log/snmpd.log.1
disposeName will be /var/log/snmpd.log.1
creating new /var/log/snmpd.log mode = 0644 uid = 0 gid = 0
error: getting file ACL /var/log/snmpd.log: No such file or directory


From /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd:

[11:46 AM] root@jacknife2:~# cat /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd
/var/log/snmpd.log {
    missingok
    create 0644 root root
    postrotate
       /sbin/service snmpd restart  2> /dev/null > /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

===================
It appears due to the ACL error, the logrotate stops at the rename point and the service never gets restarted to create the new log file and nothing gets compressed.

Thanks, I think I know what's wrong. What filesystem do you use on /var/log and do you have ACLs enabled there? I think you don't have it enabled and logrotate fails because of that (which is bug of course, but I just want to be sure what's the real reason...)

[01:40 PM] root@jacknife2:~# cd /var/log

[01:40 PM] root@jacknife2:/var/log# df -k .
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

Oh and no ACLs on my system that I am aware of. :)
