Hello everyone.

I would like to know if it is possible to allocate previously the size of the 
log file.

I have different window services working with log4net, we did not have any 
problem during two years, but we detected the machine has the disk very 
fragment, and the cpu arrived to 100%, meanwhile the physical memory had same 
values. This increment of CPU has gradually been going up in the time.

After a defragmentation of the disk, we decided to change the path where the 
log4net files were writing and we put them in a remote path in other machine, 
with enough space but not too much. After few we weeks we checked this new "log 
file machine" has the disk very fragment.

The log4net appender we use:
<appender name="FILE" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
      <file value="CN.log"/>
      <appendToFile value="true"/>
      <rollingStyle value="Size"/>
      <maxSizeRollBackups value="136" />
      <maximumFileSize  value="15MB"/>
      <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
        <conversionPattern 
value="%date{yyyy-MM-dd;HH:mm:ss.ffff};%-5level;%C{1}:%L;%message%newline"/>
      </layout>
</appender>


One workaround  to avoid to fragment the disk is to allocate the full size of 
the 136 files of 15 MB (around 2GB)previously to start writing. Is there any 
way to do this with log4net?

We have been searching but we have not found anything about this. Other pro

Other proposals are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
