Hi all,

I'm quite new to this list so forgive me if this has been discussed before...

Problem is that every time our logfiles grow larger than 2gb (2147483647 to be exact) syslog-ng dies and doesn't start until that specific logfile is renamed...

Syslog-ng is version 1.4.16 running on a RedHat 7.3 machine and yes, we have ext3 filesystem in use, which should support files over that. At least we can merge those logfiles to one big file anyway...

Any suggestions are welcome...
