Unfortunatly, I'm having trouble thinking off an easy way to do the what I want, i.e. I want to specify a translator the way you say above an always have the last 100M of log messages. So, the point of my incorherence is that instead of the file rolling over, I just want the file to discard anything but that last X bytes put into the file and never lose the last X bytes put into the file.
I like this idea too, for real log files this has more sense. But I am not sure at all how one would go about to implement. When one writes N bytes to the file when at the end of the file, one would somehow have to remove the N top bytes, and push all contents up N bytes and then start writting those N bytes. And this would have to be done all the time when writting. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
