2 gigs? Ever considered rotating the logfile?

Rotate the logfile for instance once a month, Tar it up and move it to a proper
place

On some older systems thereīs a 2gb limit:

"Let me guess. The file is >2GB? If so, this is simply because your
file utilities are not compiled with large file (64 bit) support.
Here are some notes I have on fixing things for Linux:
Updates to Red Hat 7.1 system required to deal with large (>2GB)
partition image files with The Coroner's Toolkit and TCTutils/autopsy."
I think thatīs the problem. Rotating the logfile is a nice and simple solution.
