Incorrect Logs file rotation

by arigatox on 9 Apr 2010

I'm using v1.9.4 and I started to notice some problem in the log file rotation system.
This is my log configuration:

logdir = /var/log/videocache/
max_logfile_size = 1
max_logfile_backups = 20

And this is my /var/log/videocache/ content:

[videocache]# ll /var/log/videocache
total 1760
-rw-r----- 1 squid squid       0 abr  8 23:22 videocache.log
-rw-r----- 1 squid squid       0 abr  8 23:22 videocache.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 squid squid 1797257 abr  9 09:24 videocache.log.2

As you can see on the dates, new logs are appended to videocache.log.2, and that file has exceede the maximum "1mb" configured.

I now that this is not a critic topic, but it could generate problems in the future if rotation never takes place.

Natalio.
