If the power goes out during a disk write you going to loose that data as well as everything else in the computer's RAM. Deep within FileAppender a FileStream is used. How does FileStream deal with power outages? If you're worried about the local machine dying you might want to look into appending to a message queue or database on another machine instead of writing to a file.

What happens if the power goes out during a particularly intensive disk write operation by log4net? Does the file become corrupt? If not, what techniques does log4net use to prevent this, and can developers apply these same techniques to their .Net applications in general? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-does-log4net-prevent-file-corruption--tf4578109.html#a13068898 Sent from the Log4net - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
