[logback-user] RollingFile appender does not roll but copies files

[Alex Greysukh]

Hi Ceki,

Thank you very much for your advice.  I use a temporary file appender, and then reconnect to a permanent one after reading its parameters from DB. It looks like I did not disconnect temporary appender correctly and, as you have mentioned, I had 2 appenders operating on the same file.  Call to  root.detachAndStopAllAppenders() fixed the issue.

Hello Alex,

I have read bug #=323609 with interest. If multiple RollingFileAppender 
instances open the same file in Windows, conflicts are bound to arise. 
I don't think logback is at fault here. Avoid having multiple 
RollingFileAppender instances opening the same file and the issue will 
go away.

If you register an OnConsoleStatusListener, you should see that 
RollingFileAppender is detecting the conflict and resorting to copying 
in order to prevent data loss.

HTH,
