Hi Phan,

I checked my setup,

on the proxmox machine rsyslog is old: 8.24.0-1 (same version than 
debian stretch).

on the guest, rsyslog is up to date: 8.32.0-1ubuntu4 (bionic)

Do you mean I have to upgrade rsyslog on the host (proxmox)?

In this case, this should be a proxmox's bug, right?

Thanks alot and best regards

Title:
  logrotate fails on LXC

Status in logrotate package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  daily, I receive this alert from logrotate script in cron.daily:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  Failed to kill unit rsyslog.service: Input/output error
  error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/syslog of '/var/log/syslog
  '
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

  My ubuntu is a LXC running on top of ProxmoxVE.

  the problem occour when logrotate script call /usr/lib/rsyslog
  /rsyslog-rotate that has this call:

  systemctl kill -s HUP rsyslog.service

  I already checked my disks status (because the input/output error) but
  them are ok.

  The same issue is present also in another LXC, ubuntu also this one,
  running on another node of the same cluster
