Hello,

 

I've found a few logrotate bug reports in search, but they are not related to a "HDD" install.

 

I have two armbian systems on different boards set up and installed on SD cards. Both systems have the email facilities set up, which is why I found out about this.

 

This is what I get once a day via email from each of the systems:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

The only rsyslog-rotate script is in /usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate which is different from /usr/lib/rsyslog.hdd/rsyslog-rotate

 

This is the rsyslog config which calls said script: /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog

 

apt-file reports that said file belogs to the rsyslog package:

 

# apt-file search /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
rsyslog: /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog

Now, before going deeper, I assume that the issue is one of the two:

1. Typo in a armbian-maintaned rsyslog package
2. Typo in a serach/replace script during the hdd install

 

I would appreciate pointers to which repos I have to go to to so I can submit a PR.

 

Cheers,

Kaurin

Hi Kaurin,  you may be interested in this thread: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6669-how-to-extend-varlog-handled-by-log2ram/

 

Hello,

 

Thank you for the response, but I don't see how the linked topic is relevant.

 

My issue is with a logrotate script that is not a debian-default, not with logs or permissions.

did u read the threads I linked or just looked at it?

You have linked a thread I've read before I even posted this message.

 

However, you ask "did u read the threads" (plural). Did you mean to link any others?

 

There are three threads on this topic that are most relevant, including your own, but they don't help with my issue.

What I meant was, if log2RAM runs, it may be it does not work as usually with logrotate.

 

If you search for logrotate:

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8093-logrotate-rotating-of-varloghdd-is-problematic/

 

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8195-fault-in-logrotate-functionality/

 

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/8362-logrotate-not-working-in-varlog/

 

Last but not least, there are some threads about disabling log2RAM.
