Yes, I know. I should have stated my question more clearly. But normally it should not be a critical error if the error log can no longer be written. In our case the database was not accessible (except for one handler that does a very simple SELECT). My question is: How did reaching the error logs 2Gb limit affect the database driver? [adding large file support] Thanks. This is not an option. We will simply increase the rotation frequency.
