Created attachment 501797 [details] Logs and all logrotate configs. Description of problem: During rotation of the log files since upgrading to F15, the following error occurs on all logs when performing a rotation: [snippet] old log /var/log/snmpd.log.0.gz does not exist log /var/log/snmpd.log.13.gz doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of it renaming /var/log/snmpd.log to /var/log/snmpd.log.1 creating new /var/log/snmpd.log mode = 0644 uid = 0 gid = 0 error: getting file ACL /var/log/snmpd.log: No such file or directory This results in a "filename.1" file left, handles open and continuing to be written to by the various programs, and never a restart command is given to the service in question. The log rotation process STOPS at this point for each log. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC15 32-bit, logrotate-3.7.9-8.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Easy. Simply force a log rotation with "logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.conf" Full log attached. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I'm sorry, but I'm not able to reproduce it on F15 so far. Could you please try to run "logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd.conf" (replace snmpd.conf with any config which fails) and paste whole logrotate output here and also the config file? From source code I don't see how this is possible so far...
From logrotate output: [11:46 AM] root@jacknife2:~# logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd Handling 1 logs rotating pattern: /var/log/snmpd.log forced from command line (no old logs will be kept) empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/snmpd.log log needs rotating rotating log /var/log/snmpd.log, log->rotateCount is 0 dateext suffix '-20110530' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' renaming /var/log/snmpd.log.1 to /var/log/snmpd.log.2 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1), old log /var/log/snmpd.log.1 does not exist renaming /var/log/snmpd.log.0 to /var/log/snmpd.log.1 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0), old log /var/log/snmpd.log.0 does not exist log /var/log/snmpd.log.2 doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of it renaming /var/log/snmpd.log to /var/log/snmpd.log.1 disposeName will be /var/log/snmpd.log.1 creating new /var/log/snmpd.log mode = 0644 uid = 0 gid = 0 error: getting file ACL /var/log/snmpd.log: No such file or directory From /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd: [11:46 AM] root@jacknife2:~# cat /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd /var/log/snmpd.log { missingok create 0644 root root postrotate /sbin/service snmpd restart 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || true endscript } =================== It appears due to the ACL error, the logrotate stops at the rename point and the service never gets restarted to create the new log file and nothing gets compressed.
Thanks, I think I know what's wrong. What filesystem do you use on /var/log and do you have ACLs enabled there? I think you don't have it enabled and logrotate fails because of that (which is bug of course, but I just want to be sure what's the real reason...)

Oh and no ACLs on my system that I am aware of. :)
