[node-devel] Logrotate seem broken

[Jonas Israelsson]

Hi,

Ovirt-node: 2.6.1-20120228.fc18

I have noticed the my /var/log volume run out of space very fast.

The reason is the /var/log/libvirtd.log file that grows rapidly.

This file is included in the /etc/cron.d/vdsm-libvirt-logrotate

$ cat /etc/cron.d/vdsm-libvirt-logrotate
10,25,40,55 * * * * root /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd

Running logrotate-command above manually and the log is indeed rotated, 
so nothing seem wrong there.

Just to test I therefore added :

10,25,40,55 * * * * root /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/libvirtd
10,25,40,55 * * * * root echo "HEJ" > /tmp/apa.file

And I do get the "/tmp/apa.file" , so crontab seem to be working as well.

Permission looks ok....

So I must be missing the obvious...
