Hi all,
Just wanted to send a note - I've not had an opportunity
to look into this, and wont soon - perhaps others can in
the meantime.
On Sunday, we had a daylight savings change (Melbourne,
Victoria, Australia), clocks going forward one hour at 2am.
Somehow the daily PCP log rotation scripts have managed
to delete all of the PCP archives for that day, I presume
as part of the daily log rotation. We use the recommended
daily log rotation regime, with daily rotation at 00:10 as
per the man pages, driven by cron.
This happened on every single host I looked at so far, so
not some wierd race condition. Presumably something in the
logic that does the log merge of all individual logs for 1
day, and then unlinks the old ones has resulted in no "new"
merged archive (how!?) and yet still removed the "old" ones.
Looking back, I don't think this is the first time it has
happened. Argh!
cheers.
