Hi,Are there known situations where rsyslog disk queues can get corrupt? Sorry for such a high-level and open question, but we sometimes see disk queue corruption and I wanted to see if anyone else sees that in certain situation (e.g. when rsyslog is under pressure, when it is stopped in a certain way, when it runs out of memory, or something along these lines)?
Well, if it crashes as it's writing data, or if it's trying to flush the queue to disk on shutdown and gets killed by -9 while it's doing so I would expect problems (some distros send a kill -15, wait a bit and then do kill -9, if there's too much work to do in writing the memory queue to disk, rsyslog will be caught by this)
Other than that, nothing specific to disk queues. what sort of corruption are you seeing? David Lang
