non-64-bit file API use would limit you to  2gb. it's not inherently a limit
in the fileserver.

Another question is, how do i do logrotation.

the usual way is a restart. you can also do one of:
-add -mrafslogs to the fileserver arguments. at that point, kill -HUP will
open a new log file after renaming the old one out of the way.
-log to a FIFO

Hi,<br>
<br>
Does the fileserver have a limit one the size<br>
of the FileLog? I turned on debugging and the<br>
fileserver crashed when the log was 2 GB big.<br>
Exit Code 25. IIUC this means a file size limit<br>
was reached. ulimit says the file size is unlimited.<br>
The filesytem the logs are stored on is ext3.<br>

Another question is, how do i do logrotation.<br>
By which means do i get the fileserver to close<br>
the old log and open a new one. Can i use SIGTERM<br>
or some other signal here?<br>
