Hi,

I'm watching this behavior since having v4.0.2 in place (almost two 
weeks). Here log files size over the last week and a half, all in 
standard location /var/log/xrootd/ [1].

It's obvious there is pretty strange cycle how data in log files are 
appended. Main files .log remain 0 size and .log-<date> gets 
continuously increasing since the moment of last daemon restart (<date> 
thing here) or when logs are manually removed (to clean up some space).

See example [1] - between Fri Aug 8 and Tue Aug 12 logging goes into 
single file(s) *.log-20140805 and increasing.

We don't do anything custom at logrotate level in the system (should 
we?), so it seems to be something xrootd internal I suppose.

Could someone share similar experience, any idea where to look and fix?

I think this really wasn't problem in <4.x.x as I don't recall we've 
used any other logrotate mechanism than internal xrootd one.

Thanks,
Marian
