[syslog-ng]file to large error

[Shawn Davenport]

Hey folks,
Just figured I'd add some info to Nate's problem. I'm running
syslog-ng-1.4.5 and libol-0.2.18 under solaris 2.7(sparc). One host collects
firewall logs, and I've got several files as large if not larger than the
one below. 
-rw-------   1 root     root     112629718 Sep  5 17:23 gc-adminfw_all

Not sure if this helps narrow down the problem or not.

Thanks...
Shawn

Just as I'm leaving, I noticed this on my loghost at work (redhat 6.2, UDP
logging for around 50 hosts):

Sep  5 18:13:04 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: syslog-ng version 1.4.4 starting
Sep  5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: syslog-ng startup succeeded
Sep  5 18:13:04 loghost syslog: klogd startup succeeded
Sep  5 18:13:06 loghost syslog-ng[24136]: io.c: do_write: write() failed
(errno 27), File too large

Obviously I need to rotate the logs more often on that host, but were you
aware that there is a limit to the file sizes syslog-ng could write to?

# ls -al /var/log/messages
-rw----r--    1 root     root      9048923 Sep  5 18:15 messages

Ok, that's a huge logfile, but I just wanted to post that here in case
it's relevant.
