Hi All,
I do not understand why the log files within /var/log/portage/ will
not rotate on my PC, while they rotate fine on my laptop. The
/etc/logrotate.conf is the same on both boxen:
==========================================
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
#daily
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
# packages can drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
notifempty
nomail
noolddir
[snip . . . ]
# when /var/log/portage gets big
/var/log/portage/*.log
{
rotate 1
weekly
nocreate
ifempty
olddir /var/log/portage/old
postrotate
find /var/log/portage/old -maxdepth 1 -mtime +30 -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;
endscript
nocompress
}
==========================================
The only difference I noticed (other than the fact that I have two
year old portage log files in /var/log/portage) between the two boxen
is that the access rights of the 'old' directory on the PC were:
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 48 Dec 23 2005 old
while on the laptop which rotates without problems are:
drwx------ 2 root root 4256 Jan 13 11:20 old
This may be a bit of a red herring because even though I changed the
access rights as per the laptop, the PC still refuses to rotate the
portage log files.
Any ideas? How do I troubleshoot this one?
