[sheepdog-users] logrotate

[Valerio Pachera]

It seems it doesn't work but I found the workaround

copytruncate
              Truncate  the  original  log  file to zero size in place
after creating a copy, instead of moving the old log file and
optionally creating a new one.

I noticed this option in the file /etc/logrotate.d/corosync.


This is what I've done


Sheepdog daemon version 0.9.0_rc0_5_g1b4e52d

I run sheep on two hosts, one with -l rotate=debian, the other without.

On both I create /ect/logrotate.d/sheepdog

/var/lib/sheepdog/sheep.log {
        weekly
        rotate 4
        create
}

Note: I need to specify all the options so I can force the rotate.
When using --force, logrotate doesn't read the default values from
logrotate.conf.

logrotate -fv /etc/logrotate.d/sheepdog

reading config file sheepdog
