Hey, folks. I just noticed something a bit odd in the behaviour of /var/log/lastlog . IIRC, this is supposed to be a symlink that's pointed to the most recent log file to be updated (somehow or other). However, in openQA tests and also on my workstation, I've seen it be - seemingly - an extremely large regular file which doesn't actually take up as much space as it should. For e.g., right now this is how it shows on my Rawhide workstation:
[adamw@adam openqa_fedora (freeipa-password %)]$ ls -lh /var/log/lastlog -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 43G Jul 14 13:19 /var/log/lastlog But note the output of du: 4.2G /var/log of which 4.1G is /var/log/journal . So it seems the file isn't 'really' taking up any space at all. Anyone know what's going on? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected]
