Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-2840:
-------------------------------------

The bug is that you are trying to delete a file that is being written to. I can think of no logical reason to do that.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Appenders, Configuration
>    Affects Versions: 2.12.1
>         Environment: Unix server.

> I am using Log4j2 2.12.1.
> And I have configured a rolling file appender to write to a file ( which gets rolled over based on some size limit).
> The issue I am facing is that when active file gets deleted from the backend , log4j2 logger is not able to detect the file deletion and keep on processing the message. I am not able to figure out where the messages are being written. 
> The Status Logger also doesn't show any error events.
> Expected behaviour would have that logger should have created a new file and started writing into it.
