Topic
Updated logrotate packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The logrotate utility simplifies the administration of multiple log files by
allowing their automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Because of an unneeded check in logrotate's code, logrotate was not able, when
using the "olddir" directive, to rotate the log files that pointed to a
directory located on a different physical file system than the one storing the
original log file. The check in logrotate's code has been fixed, and logs are
now rotated in the mentioned case when the "copytruncate" or "copy" directives
are used together with the "olddir" directive. (BZ#1279392)
Users of logrotate are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
