Hi Alan, Thanks for your email.
I had a closer look and I think I do not think of a bug anymore. Filesize is only checked once, while initializing the syslog file channel with syslog_file_channel() at board level. In other words, rotation does only happen on reboot. A "life-rotate" mechanism would need to monitor log file size and do the following: sched_lock(); syslog_dev_uninitialize(); log_rotate(); syslog_dev_initialize(); syslog_channel(); sched_unlock(); This mechanism could live in a separate task in drivers/syslog/syslog_filechannel.c or even at board level. Or it could be triggered by each call of syslog() being addressed in the depth of syslog. As a first measure I reduced the log output of my application. It is arguable if this "life-rotate" feature is of any real good in case you do not have 1Gb log files by mistake. Do you have any thoughts about this?
