With logrotates copytruncate when e.g. domain1 doesn't exist anymore
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/domain1.log will still exist after rotation even
though it will never be written to. When new domain names keep getting
used this leads to a lot of empty logfiles. This may lead to slowdown or
lack of free disk space / inodes.
Fix this by replacing copytruncate with the apropriate postrotate
command to reopen log files. Thus after the apropriate time log files
for deleted domains will be gone. This also has the advantage that the
chance for loss of a few lines during copytruncate is gone.
This only fixes the issue for qemu domains, others still have the same
problem unfixed.
