/etc/logrotate.d/bacula does not work correctly if one uses the default configuration, because in bacula-dir.conf: append = "/var/log/bacula.log" = all, !skipped and in /etc/logrotate.d/bacula: # Bacula logrotate script /var/log/bacula/*.log { monthly rotate 4 notifempty missingok } the logfile paths do not match. Furthermore the warning in bacula-dir in the Messages resource: # # WARNING! the following will create a file that you must cycle from # time to time as it will grow indefinitely. However, it will # also keep all your messages if they scroll off the console. # append = "/var/spool/bacula/log" = all, !skipped would be obsolete, if logrotate also would rotate the /var/spool/bacula/log on a monthly basis. The logrotate definition should be changed to: /var/log/bacula/*.log /var/spool/bacula/log { monthly rotate 4 notifempty missingok }
Fixed in CVS for devel, 9 and 8 (no spec changes yet). Andreas, should I push a build, or are you close to a fix for BZ 458432?
