Thanks Imesh, Isuru, Amila and Martin. As Martin mentioned, we had log enabled at DEBUG level. This change will additional level of protection besides having good logging instrumentation in the code. With the DailyRollingFileAppender, we can only hope that log file is rotated every 24 hr before the disk is filled up.
I've committed this change to both master and 4.0.0. Please feel free to revert or make adjustment to the size/number of files if you think necessary.

Did this occur while running Stratos in single JVM mode without having any DEBUG level logs? Please send these changes to both master and 4.0.0 branches.

We're deploying Stratos using default profile. To fix this issue, we modified log4j.properties with the changes listed below. Please let me know if it's okay to push this changes upstream.
