[Bug 1801910] Re: logrotate fails on LXC

[Phan Van Cuong]

Hi Marco,

In my opinion, I think we should install rsyslog above on the container.
You could create a new image for ubuntu 18.04 for never do it again.

Like what I said, could be it happened on the image of Proxmox, so you
should install the newest package of rsyslog on the container.

By default, Ubuntu 18.04 rsyslogd version is rsyslogd 8.32.0.

This is a result after upgrade:

$ rsyslogd -version
rsyslogd 8.40.0, compiled with:
	PLATFORM:				x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
	PLATFORM (lsb_release -d):		
	FEATURE_REGEXP:				Yes
	GSSAPI Kerberos 5 support:		No
	FEATURE_DEBUG (debug build, slow code):	No
	32bit Atomic operations supported:	Yes
	64bit Atomic operations supported:	Yes
	memory allocator:			system default
	Runtime Instrumentation (slow code):	No
	uuid support:				Yes
	systemd support:			Yes
	Number of Bits in RainerScript integers: 64

Title:
  logrotate fails on LXC

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  daily, I receive this alert from logrotate script in cron.daily:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  Failed to kill unit rsyslog.service: Input/output error
  error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/syslog of '/var/log/syslog
  '
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

  My ubuntu is a LXC running on top of ProxmoxVE.

  the problem occour when logrotate script call /usr/lib/rsyslog
  /rsyslog-rotate that has this call:

  systemctl kill -s HUP rsyslog.service

  I already checked my disks status (because the input/output error) but
  them are ok.

  The same issue is present also in another LXC, ubuntu also this one,
  running on another node of the same cluster
