> Existing log files not counted in disk space calculations

> Key: GEODE-8929
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8929
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: native client
> Reporter: Blake Bender
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.15.0

>
> When the native logger starts up, it looks for existing "rolled" log files,
> i.e. files which were written by a previous instance of the client. If it
> finds any, they are added to an internal map, and when the current log file
> would exceed the file size limit, the oldest existing rolled log file is
> deleted, and a new one written. The size of the existing files, however, is
> not calculated and subtracted from available size at startup, so each
> concurrent instance of the client can _add_ up to whatever is specified for
> `log-disk-space-limit`. So, for instance, if you set a disk space limit of
> 5MB, run your app, generate 5MB of logs, and quit, you have 5MB of logs. If
> you run your app again, generate 5MB of logs, and quit, you now have 10MB of
> logs, etc., effectively "leaking" disk space.
>
> The workaround for now is to always delete existing log files at app startup,
> but we should really either delete these when initializing the logger, or
> calculate the existing used disk space at startup.
