Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-679:
------------------------------------
I think it should work. Based on the source code for {{File.mkdirs()}}, I
cannot think of a scenario where mkdirs() will return false in the middle of
creating a folder structure when the other thread is not finished with creating
this same folder structure.
{code}
// java.io.File
public boolean mkdirs() {
if (exists()) { return false; }
if (mkdir()) { return true; }
File canonFile = null;
try {
canonFile = getCanonicalFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
return false;
}
File parent = canonFile.getParentFile();
return (parent != null && (parent.mkdirs() || parent.exists()) &&
canonFile.mkdir());
}
{code}

> As part of last nights log-rotation, sub-folders "/2014/06/" had to be
> created on top of the already existing "/var/backups/app1/" folder structure.
> During this log-rotation task, 2 out of ~20 files (all constantly written by
> the same application) where not rotated in the desired folder
> "/var/backups/app1/2014/06/" but are still actively used in the base folder.
> The only hint I could find regarding this issue was the following log output
> from log4j (matching the rotation time):
> 2014-06-24 00:00:00,084 ERROR Unable to create directory
> /var/backups/app1/2014/06
> 2014-06-24 00:00:00,084 ERROR Unable to create directory
> /var/backups/app1/2014/06
> Strangely all other log-file where correctly rotated to the identical
> destination directory.
> Until now i was not able to reproduce this behavior in my testing environment
> but i suspect that there might be an issue with handling multiple
> log-rotations in parallel for a "to be created" sub-directory.
