Looks that's a stock one.
Try it like this:
1) Invoke as a root:
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
Didn't work.
2) If it doesn't help, add 'size' stanza to
the /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog like this:
/var/log/syslog
{
rotate 7
daily
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
size 1024k
postrotate
invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
endscript
}
and invoke logrotate once more:
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
Not yet, but we have some progress...
Trial 1:
# /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
error: error creating output file /var/log/syslog.1.gz: File exists
Trial 2:
# rm /var/log/syslog.1.gz
# /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
gzip: stdin: Input/output error
error: failed to compress log /var/log/syslog.1
Should I backup syslog, delete it, and watch how things evolve?
Many thanks,
Itay
