The system-repository SMF delivers IPS packages to zones.
This SMF produces an access_log file which is not rotated
by default. If you run many zones this logfile grows
to multiple 100 MB. On a customer system with more
than 20 zones this file was over 3 GB in size.
This is a sample on one of our test systems
# ls -lh /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pkg5srv bin 148M Jan 8 10:52 /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log
You can manually rotate and compress this logfile using
the following command
# time logadm -c -z 0 /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log
real 0m4.989s
user 0m4.164s
sys 0m0.815s
# ls -lh /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log*
-rw-r--r-- 1 pkg5srv bin 0 Jan 8 10:54 /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pkg5srv bin 26.7M Jan 8 10:52 /var/log/pkg/sysrepo/access_log.0.gz
