Hi, I'm on FC6 machine that gets updated at least once a week. I
notice today {monday}, that messages has been rotated and is empty so
far.
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 8 09:07 /var/log/messages
-rw------- 1 root root 326802 Apr 5 07:03 /var/log/messages.1
-rw------- 1 root root 632374 Apr 1 04:05 /var/log/messages.2
-rw------- 1 root root 273450 Mar 25 11:06 /var/log/messages.3
-rw------- 1 root root 89829 Mar 20 18:53 /var/log/messages.4
Since the machine has been shutdown and rebooted 3/4 times since Apr5,
it seems that no data is getting to this log. The machine has been on
for many hours almost every day since (now Apr9). Normally yum log
items are also logged to messages, but there have been none of these
in this time frame.
