RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Anacron job 'cron.daily' 
error: Compressing program wrote following message to stderr when compressing log /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log-20220206:
gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mariadb-10.3.28


Additional info:

Missing 
 delaycompress
 sharedscripts
in /etc/logrotate.d/mariadb

Hello,

we are currently working on a fix for a very similar report:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015580

A likely fix we are testing at this moment, is the addition of the 'delaycompress' directive.


Even though you also list the 'sharedscripts' directive, I don't believe it is necessary.
Could you please explain further the necessity of the 'sharedscripts' directive in your specific case please ?

The suggestion is mainly inspired from

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/blob/main/f/mariadb-logrotate.patch

And the Fedora code is inspired by the upstream suggestion:
  https://mariadb.com/kb/en/rotating-logs-on-unix-and-linux/#configuring-logrotate

The Fedora serves as a fine upstream for the future RHEL releases.
This Fedora code has been synced to RHEL 9:
  https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/mariadb/-/blob/c9s/mariadb-logrotate.patch

However in stable RHEL releases our goal is to preserve the stability and keep the changes minimal, so we won't add unnecessary directives.

Plese follow the BZ:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015580
to watch for progress on this issue.
I believe the 'delaycompress' directive will be sufficient solution to your problem.


Thank you for the report !
