FastRollingFile with DefaultRolloverStrategy not removing old log files

[Ric Searle <ri...@yellowbrick-tracking.com>]

Hi,

I'm evaluating beta8, with the following appender defined...

<FastRollingFile name="SQL-FILE" fileName="/var/log/tomcat7/sql.log" filePattern="/var/log/tomcat7/rolled/sql-%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HHmm}.log" immediateFlush="true">
   <PatternLayout pattern="%d %-20C{1} : %m (Thread: %t)%n" />
   <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="100 MB"/>
   <DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/>
</FastRollingFile>

All works well, except that old log files aren't being deleted. I just had to delete 300x 100MB files.

Any idea what I've got wrong?

Thanks,

Ric Searle

Can you checkout the trunk code, build it and test it with your case?
