Bug 1266214

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1266210 +++

Description of problem:

glusterfs provides /etc/logrotate.d/glusterfs which configures logrotate to rotate /var/log/glusterfs/*.log and /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/*.log files.

Unfortunately it has six directives which are improperly unbounded by brackets.

  [rsaw logrotate.d]$ cat glusterfs
  # perform the log rotate every week
  weekly
  # keep the backup of 52 weeks
  rotate 52
  missingok

  # compress the logs, but from the .2 onwards
  compress
  delaycompress
  notifempty

  # Rotate client logs
  /var/log/glusterfs/*.log {
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterfs > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterd > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
  }

  # Rotate server logs
  /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/*.log {
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterfsd > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
  }

To be clear, the above modifies the global logrotate config, MAKING IT SO THAT ALL OTHER LOG FILES ON THE SYSTEM will be rotated weekly, compressed, and kept for 52 weeks.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I checked the latest version available in standard repos: glusterfs-3.6.0.29-2.el7


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install glusterfs package
2. Open /etc/logrotate.d/glusterfs
3. Ponder.


Expected results:

The file could instead look like this.

  # Rotate client & server logs
  /var/log/glusterfs/*.log
  /var/log/glusterfs/bricks/*.log
  {
    # perform the log rotate every week
    weekly
    # keep the backup of 52 weeks
    rotate 52
    missingok
    # compress the logs, but from the .2 onwards
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterfs > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterd > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    /usr/bin/killall -HUP glusterfsd > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
    endscript
  }


Additional info:

I noticed this by looking at an strace of logrotate and seeing "(52 rotations)" for EVERY pattern. E.g.,

  write(2, "\nrotating pattern: /var/log/cron\n/var/log/maillog\n/var/log/messages\n/var/log/secure\n/var/log/spooler\n ", 102)
  write(2, "weekly ", 7)
  write(2, "(52 rotations)\n", 15)

Of course the above was on a system where the above pattern of files was managed by /etc/logrotate.d/syslog which had no customizations and thus that "52" there should have instead said "7" since /etc/logrotate.conf was also default.
