Re: [cobalt-users] log stopped

[Theodore Jones <theoj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steven,

So do you mean that it is linux kernal specific that the file size can't go
larger than 2G?
I'm not complaining, but just surprised.  I only have four allbeit busy sites on
my RaQ3i,
but some of the admins here have upwards of a hundred on theirs... I'm surprised
nobody else
here has ever reported problems with the log file getting too large to
continue?!

Since "how to rotate the logs manually" is not covered in the oh-so-helpful and
detailed User's
Manauls, might you advise me on the correct commands to do it msyelf?

Thanks!,

~ Theo
