[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 1.6.8 does not reopen logs when out of disk space

[Evan Rempel]

I am running syslog-ng 1.6.8 and when my logging space fills up (that's a
different story) syslog-ng closes the log file with messages like


io.c: do_write: write() failed (errno 28), No space left on device
pkt_buffer::do_flush(): Error flushing data

and starts queueing messages according to the log_fifo_size option.
My concern is that when disk space became available again, the logging was
not resumed, and I lost all of the messages for the closed log files until
the macro expansion changed the file name.

Shouldn't the "time_reopen" apply to files as well? I have it set to 5
seconds.

Is there another option that would allow me to handle this situation?

How would this be handled in the 1.9 (2.0) code path?
