[users@httpd] rotatelogs and nfs

Hi all, I have a question about rotatelogs and nfs in a cluster environment.
Should be safe to use rotatelogs on many servers that points to the same
log file mounted via nfs?

Reading the log file created by rotatelogs, there are some broken entries.
Is it possible to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

I'm not sure it's safe to log via nfs, I think it's unsafe to log from more
processes on the same machine to one logfile in parallel.

Log to multiple local files, you can merge them later.
