logrotation size limit is not effecting

Question

I have fixed size limit in logrotation 1M. The script run on every hours even though its rotating less than 1Mb files. I dont know what i have done wrong. Below is my configuration parameters.

/opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/data/pg_log/postgresql-* 
{
              rotate 25
              size=1M
              notifempty
              missingok
              olddir /opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/data/pg_log/test
              copytruncate
}

Please can anyone help me out in this problem?

Lot of Thanks in advance.

It should be size 1M without equal sign.

This is wrong. With and without the equals sign are both valid and equivalent syntax. See, for example, [this man page](http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html) which includes both syntaxes. I am using the equals sign in a logrotate file for Apache in production and it works just fine. – Mark Amery Oct 23 '14 at 09:10

You may check the logging parameters in your PostgreSQL config, see: PostgreSQL Error Reporting and Logging (e.g. log_rotation_size).
