--- Comment #1 from Antoine "hashar" Musso <[email protected]> ---
As root, I could not change the ownership of a log file on the NFS share:

 $ sudo touch /data/project/logs/logrotatetest.log
 $ ls -l /data/project/logs/logrotatetest.log
 $ -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 0 May  2 08:49 /data/project/logs/logrotatetest.log
 $ sudo chown udp2log:udp2log logrotatetest.log 
 chown: changing ownership of `logrotatetest.log': Invalid argument
 $


`copytruncate` would solve that since the file is copied and then its content
removed. But that would mean losing some logs sent between the two operations,
I dont think this is acceptable for production.


`nocreate` would not attempt to recreate the log files. That would only work if
HUP signal sent to udp2log actually recreate the file. I believe that is the
case since when the files are rotated and recreated by log rotated, the inode
changed and thus udp2log must be reopening them, possibly recreating it.
