rsyslog writing to syslog.1 after logrotate since upgrading to 6.5.2

Hi,

 

Ever since upgrading to ReadyNAS 6.5.2 a couple days ago, each morning at 6:25am when the logrotate happens the syslog file rotation happens normally, but then rsyslog keeps writing to syslog.1 instead of the, now empty, syslog file. As you can imagine this screws up the LogAnalyzer add-on app in ReadyNAS, leaving it empty also.

 

The "workaround" I've found so far is to reboot the RN202. Doing a

 

# service rsyslog restart

doesn't seem to be enough to get it working again, a full reboot is required.

 

I've also tried:

 

# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade rsyslog
...
Calculating upgrade... rsyslog is already the newest version.
...

# rsyslogd -f/etc/rsyslog.conf -N1
rsyslogd: version 5.8.11, config validation run (level 1), master config /etc/rsyslog.conf
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

# rsyslogd -f/etc/rsyslog.conf -N3
rsyslogd: version 5.8.11, config validation run (level 3), master config /etc/rsyslog.conf
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

Any ideas out there what might be going on?

 

Thanks,

Greg

    I see symptoms like this people have reported in Debian Linux for years, but so far none of the solutions are working here.
