Brett,
I was
working with logrotate this weekend and remember reading that olddir must be on
the same device as the original dir.

Hi,
I would like to logrotate files in a directory (say
directory is: /funstuff on /dev/hdb1) and due to disk space, I'd
like the old files placed in: /var/log/funstuff/old on /dev/hda1.
Logrotate when configured with "olddir" parameter complains that the olddir is

Title: Logrotate: 2 questions
We have a RH Linux 7.3 web server that has what I believe to be a default setup of logrotate running each night.
My first question is: what is the purpose of the default installation/setup of logrotate? What is it rotating? I ask because I am getting frustrated
Logrotate does what it says. Rotate log files. This is most certainly needed
or you logfiles will fill your drive.
Why it's not finishing? I've never seen that, maybe it's looking for a log
file that's not there or there is some other process that is hanging it.

but I can certainly hack the logrotate scripts.

Hi All,
I found out that I had redundant entries

my syslogs) and was able to rotate them. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

To make a long story short, I did not
make the /var partition large enough and ran out of room. So I moved everything
under the /usr partition and thought I made all of the right changes that
referenced my syslogs. So, it was I who did it.
Thanks,

fact that log rotate calls the older logs .1, .2, .3 etc. Is it
possible, within logrotate, to specify that these files get a date
