 &gt; Hi all,
 &gt; 
 &gt; I'm quite new to this list so forgive me if this ha=
s been discussed
 &gt; before...
 &gt; 
 &gt; Problem is that every time our logfiles grow larger=
 than 2gb 
 &gt; (2147483647 to
 &gt; be exact) syslog-ng dies and doesn't start until th=
at 
 &gt; specific logfile is
 &gt; renamed...
 &gt; 
 &gt; Syslog-ng is version 1.4.16 running on a RedHat 7.3=
 machine 
 &gt; and yes, we have
 &gt; ext3 filesystem in use, which should support files =
over that. 
 &gt; At least we
 &gt; can merge those logfiles to one big file anyway...<=
/FONT>
 &gt; 
 &gt; Any suggestions are welcome...
