Is that correct? Eeeh, I don't know! Probably? Yes, I tried this. After rotation, `b.log` and `a.log.0` still refer to the same file. I'm not sure whether we should keep the hard link pointing to the active log file after rotation. Maintaining that relationship seems outside the scope of this fix. I'd like to hear what others think. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/33090#issuecomment-6130423110
