As an aside, wouldn't it be cool if you could tell logrotate how much diskspace all the logs combined could be allowed to use, so that it could rotate, compress and delete logs before they fill up the entire partition? It would perhaps not help in your case, but I have experienced a couple of times that logs have grown large in a few days because I haven't been paying attention to what happened, and completely filled the partition (on critical systems, I have a seperate /var/log/ partition, so that it won't crash things if full, but I haven't filled that). Is this possible? If not, what do think, should I file a wishlist bug?
