[gentoo-user] logs changed from bz2 to gz
I've just noticed that between 050526 050531 compression in /var/log changed from .bz2 to .gz the .bz2 files are just sitting there. The only emerge I did during that interval which might have affected this is Debianutils , which is required for Sysklogd , my logger. Since Bzip2 does a tighter compression than Gzip , the change seems odd. Does anyone have any insights into this change ? Any reasons to use a different logger rather than Sysklogd ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hmm, I thought log rotation was controlled by logrotate, in which case the default is gzip, but you can change it in /etc/logrotate.conf. Maybe things work differently with sysklogd though...I am using syslog-ng. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
