+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1126801 +++ +++ +++ +++ This bug is for the master branch +++ +++ +++ Description of problem: Glusterfs's logrotate config file in the /etc/logrotate.d directory pollutes logrotate's global config file at /etc/logrotate.conf. Namely, the file /etc/logrotate.d/glusterfs-georep has global directives in the beginning of the file that reads """ rotate 52 missingok compress delaycompress notifempty """ When this file is included into logrotate's config file (line 18 of /etc/logrotate.conf, which reads "include /etc/logrotate.d"), it is splashed into the state of logrotate's config reader, "as if it was included inline" (man logrotate). Therefore, those lines will override whatever corresponding configuration terms already present in /etc/logrotate.conf. Especially, the "rotate 52" directive will delay the removal of old logs up to a year globally (!!), resulting in a large number of old logs that should have been deleted. Please move the above directives inside the curly braces so they don't pollute the global config state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glusterfs-3.5.2-1.fc20 How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install glusterfs. 2. Watch old logs grow; output of logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf showing "52 rotations" not just for glusterfs georeplication logs but almost all other logs. Actual results: Many old logs are not removed. logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf output shows "52 rotations" for all logs processed after glusterfs-georep that don't override the "rotate" directive individually. Expected results: Should not have interfered with other logs. Additional info: The spurious old logs caused by this still needs manual removal after the fix, because logrotate, given "rotate 4" directive, won't even touch beyond the 5th log file.
