I'm not convinced that log rotation is working correctly, and uncontrolled log growth is not due to excessive logging (though things could be potentially better on that front). My mako has not rolled /userdata/system-data/var/log/syslog since I manually killed the 2.9GB syslog that I reported on May 13: # head -1 /userdata/system-data/var/log/syslog May 13 09:00:06 ubuntu-phablet rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="7.4.4" x-pid="766" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] start and it has since grown to 185M. It and the parent directory have sane permissions: drwxrwxr-x 11 root syslog 4.0K May 22 22:01 /userdata/system-data/var/log/ -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 185M May 27 12:43 /userdata/system-data/var/log/syslog (I didn't check the permissions on the 2.9G syslog before I toasted it.) The first entry dated May 26 is not until 88% through the file (syslog lines 1749809-1749822/1980776), so it's not that some outlying crazy amounts of logging occurred within the last 24 hours. And in fact, manually running logrotate is illuminating: # /usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf reading config file /etc/logrotate.conf including /etc/logrotate.d reading config file apport reading config file apt reading config file dpkg reading config file ppp reading config file system-image-common reading config file touch-syslog reading config file ufw reading config file unattended-upgrades reading config file upstart error: bad year 1969 for file /var/log/upstart/apparmor.log in state file /var/lib/logrotate/status # Looking at /var/lib/logrotate/status, there are several entries with 1969 dates. -- Steve Beattie <[email protected]> http://NxNW.org/~steve/
