[7.400] Log Partition Status shows incorrect size

DarkServant
Hi,
the Log Partition Status Page shows incorrect size after changing the partition structure manually (separate Disk for /var/log), here is a picture:

    Now I wonder how you did change the partition structure, did you maybe run a stray chown on the partition contents? Can you check the permissions on the /var/log/reporting/pgsql/ directory and subdirectories? We are using a separate 'postgres' user and 'postgres' group to run the database, if the files are owned by root instead this would cause errors like the one you got. 
    Cheers,

    Ok, it looks like there was the problem, i've copied the content without the permission or ownership information. i made a chown -R postgres : postgres to the directory /var/log/reporting/pgsql and now it works fine. I hope this was the only chown that the system needs. [8-)]

    Just one minor suggestion for the next time: try 'tar cvpzf backup.tgz /var/log/' and  'tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /var/log/', since this will preserve permissions. Thanks for trying this out, now we know that the calculations are safe against counter-wraps [:)]
