Question access_log.processed - can I truncate it?

Hi all,
Due to issues with log rotation my access_log.processed file has reached 20GB.
My understanding is that it's just used to keep track of the lines processed from the access_log file. So can I just clear it out via "truncate -s 0 access_log.processed" or does statistics processing need the last few lines in it to keep track of where it needs to start processing the log lines in the access_log file from?

Thanks

Alex

Issue - Rotation of files with multiple hard links is not allowed

Hi, I have a problem with log rotation, related to the bug PPP-56387 (I think). The logs are not rotated, if I try with: /usr/local/psa/logrotate/sbin/logrotate -v -f /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.d/mydomain.com I get: log xxx has multiple (2) hard links. Rotating files with multiple hard links...

You can simply add the allowhardlink directive to your /usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf file, then run rotation again and it will likely work.

thanks Peter - I'll have a look at the above.
