Logback's TimeBasedRollingPolicy can't rename/move a file across filesystems
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-235
URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-235
Project: logback-core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Rolling
Affects Versions: 0.9.30
Environment: AIX 6.1, WebSphere 8.0.0.1
Reporter: Daniel Potter
Assignee: Logback dev list
Logback can't roll log files to a different filesystem than the active log
using TimeBasedRollingPolicy (and RenameUtil.rename()) on AIX and possibly
other Unix/Linux-based operating systems. Per the Java 6 File.renameTo()
method JavaDoc, "The rename operation might not be able to move a file from one
filesystem to another". The JavaDoc for RenameUtil.rename() states that it
should fall back to renaming by copying, but the code doesn't do that. The
renameByCopying() method is never called.
