Hi everyone !
I have this message in my logs repeated several times and for different files :
« syslog-ng[964]: The current log file has a mismatching size/inode information, restarting from the beginning; filename='/var/log/squid3/access.log' »
This message comes from this part of the code in src/logreader.c :
644 if (cur_inode &&
645 cur_inode == log_reader_get_inode(self) &&
646 cur_size <= log_reader_get_size(self))
647 {
648 /* ok, the stored state matches the current file */
649 log_reader_update_pos(self, cur_pos);
650 return;
651 }
652 else
653 {
654 /* the stored state does not match the current file */
655 msg_notice("The current log file has a mismatching size/inode information, restarting from the beginning",
656 evt_tag_str("filename", self->follow_filename),
657 NULL);
658 goto error;
659 }
Does this mean I may have a hardware problem? Hard drive not working properly, file system damaged, …
Google hasn't been really helpful so far.
Greg.
