Logrotate works fine for me though.
Ok, I believe I see the problem here!
I was told (apparently erroneously) that asterisk does rotation itself
because "they didn't rotate before and now they do".
I've just looked in the /etc/logrotate.d/ directory and there's an
asterisk file containing:-
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/asterisk
# system-specific logs may be configured here
/var/log/asterisk/* {
daily
postrotate
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "logger rotate"
endscript
}
Now... If I were to guess I'd guess that the * is matching the logs
that
have already been rotated and rotating them, generating yet more files
to be matched by the * and hence rotated... Does that sound plausible?
At any rate, I'm going to specify the files without using a wildcard
match and see how that goes.
What about the possibility of a disk error? I would listen to the
box when it is in this state and make sure it doesn't sound like the
log file is failing to write due to a disk error? This would usually
sound like a repetitive ticking...
