2011-10-21 17:35:38 Jared Biel description Currently the stock my.cnf included in the package mysql-common specifies that an error log is created at /var/log/mysql/error.log. The logrotate conf file /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server (part of mysql-server-5.1) doesn't take this file into account so it can continue to grow forever unchecked. In fact, the logrotate conf file states that /var/log/mysql/error.log has the comment "The error log is obsolete, messages go to syslog now.". These packages are not in agreement with each other and the result is that the error.log file can grow very large because it's never rotated. I'm currently using Natty but this bug is also present in the Oneric packages. The stock my.cnf file (part of mysql-common) specifies that an error log is to be created at /var/log/mysql/error.log.
