I have been taking a look at the fifolog(1) system in RELENG_7 and I
must be missing something obvious. I created a file using default params
e.g
fifolog_create /var/log/all.fifo
and then in /etc/syslog.conf I have
*.* /var/log/all.log
*.* | /usr/sbin/fifolog_writer /var/log/all.fifo
It seems to work for the most part, but there are entries that are
missing throughout the log
e.g. in the traditional all.log I have
# wc all.log
4833 55212 398099 all.log
yet the fifo log file I have
# fifolog_reader all.fifo | wc

There does not seem to be any pattern as to what it discards / keeps
