Daniel Potter commented on LBCORE-235:
--------------------------------------

Any update on this issue?  Another developer submitted a patch and pull request 
for the issue on GitHub a while back (https://github.com/ceki/logback/pull/37). 
 Are there any plans to fold this into a release?  

The fallback method of rename-by-copy is essentially broken for 
TimeBasedRollingPolicy until this issue is fixed. 

> Logback's TimeBasedRollingPolicy can't rename/move a file across filesystems

>    Affects Versions: 0.9.30
>         Environment: AIX 6.1, WebSphere 8.0.0.1

> Logback can't roll log files to a different filesystem than the active log 
> using TimeBasedRollingPolicy (and RenameUtil.rename()) on AIX and possibly 
> other Unix/Linux-based operating systems.  Per the Java 6 File.renameTo() 
> method JavaDoc, "The rename operation might not be able to move a file from 
> one filesystem to another".  The JavaDoc for RenameUtil.rename() states that 
> it should fall back to renaming by copying, but the code doesn't do that.  
> The renameByCopying() method is never called.
