Hi,
I've noticed that whenever logrotate is run, it can take more than 2 hours
to complete. It looks like it's doing something fishy. I'm on LM 7.1 and
this is the ls -lt |head of /var/log:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16497976 Jan 30 13:08 debug.log
drw------- 2 root root 5914624 Jan 30 13:08 mail/
-rw------- 1 root root 91056 Jan 30 13:08 messages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91399 Jan 30 13:08 syslog
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 467712 Jan 30 13:07 wtmp
-rw------- 1 root root 49106 Jan 30 13:01 cron
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 504 Jan 30 13:00 daemon.log
-rw------- 1 root root 77890 Jan 30 13:00 sudo.log
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jan 30 12:36 secure
As you can see, the *directory* size of mail' is huge! I'm trying to do a ls
in that directory and it's been running for 20 minutes with no output yet.
Any ideas why this is happening?
