Question
I looked at the man pages, searched here, googled, etc.
Does anyone know the default size used by logrotate?
What reference can you cite stating the default size?
I know I can set size specifically in my config files.
Solution
So far as I know, there is no default size for logrotate, no need to waste time on this,set the value yourself in config file.
OTHER TIPS
There isn't a default size, because it's an optional flag. logrotate will rotate based on certain criteria that you give it, e.g., file size or time period (daily
, weekly
, etc). So it's not that it has a default file size (except maybe something like size 0
), it's just not a precondition for a file being rotated.
