Good Morning Pete, although I have no Tomcat knowledge whatsoever (only subscribed to the list in order to learn more and seek for an answer to my trivia questions) the fact that your Tomcat crashes when a logfile reached the 2 GB boundary in my opinion has nothing to do with Tomcat but rather the underlying filesystem Tomcat is logging to. Usually old type filesystems could only write 2^31 bytes unless the filesystem provided a so called largefile extension. Modern journaling filesystems have far higher limits for single file sizes. What type of filesystem do you use? Besides, I'd strongly advise to employ logrotate on your logfiles. No admin can comfortably handle logfiles that big. Any log rotation mechanism would automatically rotate the files either on a set time interval or if a set size is reached.
