Hi Tommaso, Yes, we have seen this problem at other sites that have moved to 4.1.1 and we don’t understand it yet. The current solution is to revert to internal log rotation. To do that a) remove the xrootd file from /etc/logrotate.d, and b) change the “-k” command line option for starting xrootd/cmsd (in /etc/sysconfig/xrootd) by changing “-k fifo” to “-k 7”.

Ciao, we installed in pisa xrootd 4.1.1 (see *) and since then we basically miss xrootd.log and cmsd.log we just have the rotated version (**) a restart helps, they appear for the day but disappear at the next logrotate. any idea? logrotate setting for xroot was NOT changed by us (***) *: [root@stormgf1 ~]# rpm -qa|grep xrootd xrootd-client-libs-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 xrootd-server-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 xrootd-selinux-4.1.1-1.slc6.noarch xrootd-server-libs-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 xrootd-cmstfc-1.4.3-3.osg.el6.x86_64 xrootd-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 xrootd-libs-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 xrootd-client-compat-4.1.1-1.slc6.x86_64 **: [root@xrootd xrootd]# pwd /var/log/xrootd [root@xrootd xrootd]# ls -ltr|tail -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 307507949 Mar 9 23:59 xrootd.log.20150309 -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 154876864 Mar 9 23:59 cmsd.log.20150309 -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 1267488 Mar 10 04:02 cmsd.log.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 3607781 Mar 10 04:02 xrootd.log.3.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 2738449 Mar 11 04:02 cmsd.log.2.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 7412756 Mar 11 04:02 xrootd.log.2.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 xrootd xrootd 4096 Mar 12 04:02 cmsfr drwxr-xr-x 2 xrootd xrootd 4096 Mar 12 04:02 cmsit -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 3793752 Mar 12 04:02 cmsd.log.1.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 xrootd xrootd 22607515 Mar 12 04:02 xrootd.log.1.gz ***: [root@xrootd logrotate.d]# cat xrootd /var/log/xrootd/*/*.log /var/log/xrootd/*.log { missingok nomail nocreate rotate 100 notifempty daily compress postrotate PIPE=`dirname $1`/.`basename $1` if [ -p $PIPE ]; then /usr/bin/expect -c "set timeout 2; spawn /bin/sh -c \"echo ping > $PIPE\"; expect timeout { exit 1 } eof { exit 0 }"; fi endscript } -- Tommaso Boccali INFN Pisa -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-L&A=1 ######################################################################## Use REPLY-ALL to reply to list To unsubscribe from the XROOTD-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=XROOTD-L&A=1
