Ralph Goers closed LOG4J2-1992.
-------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

I am sorry, but Jira is for Log4j 2 problems only. Furthermore, none of the current maintainers of Log4j 2 is familiar with the internals of Log4j 1.

> Hi,
> I knew i am using very old version of log4j that is 1.2. However this version is in our production and we have some legacy issues as well to not upgrade to 2.
> We are facing a problem when we do some testing and see RollingFileAppender violate the maxfilesize we set in the xml. 
> We set the following configuration
> {code:java}
>     <appender name="A-DEBUG" class="org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender">
>         <param name="File" value="catalina.log" />
>         <param name="Append" value="true" />
>         <param name="MaxFileSize" value="10MB" />
>         <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="10" />
>         <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
>             <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d{ISO8601} %-5p [%t] %c %x - %m%n" />
>         </layout>
>     </appender>
> {code}
> During our test we have following file size of each backup
> {noformat}
> home> ls -l 
> total 193600 
> rw-rr- 1 root root 2019717 Jul 20 15:05 catalina.log 
> rw-rr- 1 root root 10486005 Jul 20 15:05 catalina.log.1 
> rw-rr- 1 root root 100918934 Jul 20 15:05 catalina.log.10 <<-- 100 MB !!!

> rw-rr- 1 root root 10485859 Jul 20 14:41 catalina.log.9
> {noformat}
> Once test case is end we check the file size again then all files are 10MB exactly. 
> That means during test file grow morethan max size.
> Could you please help me how to fix this.
