Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7.8-6
Severity: wishlist
When logrotate begins compressing large log files, it will slow down our
server because of I/O activity to the point where it causes downtime.
It might be a good idea to start logrotate with a lower priority.
I have changed /etc/cron.daily/logrotate from:
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
to:
nice -n 19 ionice -c3 /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
and it seems to do the trick.
Best,
Jaka
