Hai Lynn,

The huge merovingian.log file can be safely removed as the following:

mv /<path-to-your-dbfarm>/merovingian.log /<path-to-your-dbfarm>/merovingian.log.old
kill -HUP $(cat /<path-to-your-dbfarm>/merovingian.pid)

i.e. you first move the huge merovingian.log out of the way and tell monetdbd to start with a new log. If you now run "ls -alh /<path-to-your-dbfarm>", you should see a new merovingian.log. Now you can safely remove the old one: "rm /<path-to-your-dbfarm>/merovingian.log.old”

Regards,
Jennie

One more note. I just tailed the log and see thousands of message that look like this:  Does this imply some endless bad loop of someone trying to access the db?

Is there a setting that limits the size of the meringian.log file?
 
Thanks - Lynn

Subject: Huge merovingian.log after update
 
HI all –
 
A week or so ago we ran an upgrade to the lastest monetdb June-2020 patch.  Our db was 2 patches old.
 
While the log showed no specific problems, the upgrade effected our databases in that 2 of them would crash when they were accessed, and the third one (the largest one) I could access but could not see any tables.
 
I ended up “destroying” all the dbs and recreating them fomr the saved binary files.
 
Now, we are getting disk full messages (the db is only read – no one is adding to it).  I look at the file sizes and there is a huge mervingian.log file:

Is it a problem if I delete this file?  What will it hurt?  Should I “tail” it and save the end of it?  Please advise.
