status needsinfo thanks Hello Sebastien,

I cannot reproduce this in unstable at least. When I do stat /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/log /var/log/postgresql/ sudo logrotate -f -v /etc/logrotate.d/postgresql-common stat /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/log /var/log/postgresql/ then the only change to /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/log is the atime, and /var/log/postgresql/ changed atime/mtime/ctime (quite understandably). However, both the symlink and the directory keep their inode number. Log rotation does not touch the symlink at all. Can you please do above three commands and send me the output? (If you do not use sudo to get root access, just execute all three commands as root). If those three commands did not change the inode, can you please try sudo /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --full --force stat /etc/postgresql/7.4/main/log /var/log/postgresql/ Does that change the inode? (It does not for me). Thanks, Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
