[Bug 250776] Re: log files can overflow and fill up file system
We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes
this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in
the latest version?
Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
log files can overflow and fill up file system
Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
Expired
Bug description:
Log files can grow very large [1], up to the point where they fill up
/ or /var with potentially disastrous results.
The MythTV packages use logrotate to rotate log files. While logrotate
can rotate files based on their size, it is only run daily.
I suggest that mythtv-common should depend on a more sane log rotation
utility. I'll try to find some alternatives.
