Shrikant Mabrukar commented on LOG4NET-623: ------------------------------------------- Attached are 3 pix showing # log4Net_createAppender -> The code calling to create appenders, test program. The red box show line of code which doesn't return the correct count when called from multiple threads in quick succession( < 300ms) !log4Net_createAppender.gif! > RollingFIleAppender creating multiple duplicate files within a process > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-623 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-623 > Project: Log4net > Issue Type: Task > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 2.0.8 > Environment: Prod > Reporter: Shrikant Mabrukar > Assignee: Dominik Psenner > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.1.0 > > Attachments: Log4Net_Appender1.png, Screen Shot 2019-01-22 at > 11.41.48 PM.png, log4Net_createAppender.gif > > > In a process I have multiple threads, each thread is creating a file with > same log entries resulting in creation of multiple duplicate files within a > process.
