Comment 2 Moran Goldboim 2011-07-24 15:08:34 UTC

happened in vdsm-4.9-81.el6.x86_64

Comment 3 Dan Kenigsberg 2011-07-24 20:03:35 UTC

It is important to mention that this issue has appeared when the filesystem was full; the interesting question is why wasn't .1 log compressed. I would not be surprised if it turns out to be a logrotate bug.

On the other hand, it could make sense to run vdsm-logrotate crontab more often.

I cannot say that I love this patch, but it should do the trick
