[Bug 810736] Re: logrotate script needs to notify all samba processes when logs are rotated

bionic onwards is using smbcontrol, and I still see some processes using the (deleted) rotated files. At least new log messages are going to the right place (log.smbd), so I'm not sure what's going on. Checked with eoan's samba 4.10.0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

[Bug 810736] Re: logrotate script needs to notify all samba processes when logs are rotated

[Bug 810736] Re: logrotate script needs to notify all samba processes when logs are rotated

Oh, how silly of me. The 8841 process that shows in that fuser list is a tail -f I had open in another terminal. That being said, there were still other processes, samba ones, which held an open fd to the log file, so this bug is still valid. I should just be more careful with my tail -f next

Steps to observe the problem : # Only one log file exists ls -1 /var/log/samba cores log.smbd # Force the rotation logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/samba # The log is rotated but the old log file is missing (was rm'ed and does not show in ls) ls -1 /var/log/samba cores log.smbd.1.gz # with lsof

[Bug 810736] Re: logrotate script needs to notify all samba processes when logs are rotated

** Description changed: After the log rotation, logrotate needs to notify all samba processes to release their open file descriptors on the log files. The current logrotate configuration file does not do so and only notify the process that has it's PID stored /var/run/samba/. This is
