If only one process is writing to the file then using Exclusive is preferred because it has much higher performance. If you are using a web garden then you will have multiple processes service the requests and will need to use Minimal locking. > If Exclusive then > when will the lock be released ? When the FileAppender is closed. > Also do I need to explicitly call LogManager.ShutDown() or > any other methods in the Application_End event? log4net tries to hook the AppDomain unload event to notify the appenders to shutdown.
