[ http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.i... ] Daniel Potter commented on LBCORE-235: -------------------------------------- Looks like the call to renameByCopying() was removed back on Jan 13th by Ceki as part of "ongoing work on LBCORE-188 and LBCORE-185". https://github.com/ceki/logback/commit/2f02bd43fd41dca2a6d0592edbae6968d2080...
Logback's TimeBasedRollingPolicy can't rename/move a file across filesystems ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-235 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-235 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Rolling Affects Versions: 0.9.30 Environment: AIX 6.1, WebSphere 8.0.0.1 Reporter: Daniel Potter Assignee: Logback dev list
Logback can't roll log files to a different filesystem than the active log using TimeBasedRollingPolicy (and RenameUtil.rename()) on AIX and possibly other Unix/Linux-based operating systems. Per the Java 6 File.renameTo() method JavaDoc, "The rename operation might not be able to move a file from one filesystem to another". The JavaDoc for RenameUtil.rename() states that it should fall back to renaming by copying, but the code doesn't do that. The renameByCopying() method is never called.
