question

Did you ever find a solution?

Have the same issue right now.

Thanks!

You can simply delete the file.

Logs should go into /data/log and be managed by multilog. This will keep the log file from taking all the space on /data

No, you can't delete the file, at least not with "rm current.log", hence the error "Value too large for defined data type" and the question here in this forum :-)

After a lot of searching, I found that this works:

cat /dev/null > current.log

I hope that helps others who will find this topic with Google search.

Agree with your second comment, just some of the additional packages do not respect this convention. So you either use them as stock or you modify the code.

Hi,

I encountered the same problem, Google search did not show your solution yet :)

I fixed it by making a python script that removes the file place it in the same directory as the current.log file and run the script.

import os
from pathlib import Path
myfile = "current.log"
print("Files in a directory -->",os.listdir())
print("-----------------------------------------------------")
# If file exists, delete it.
if os.path.isfile(myfile):
os.remove(myfile)
print("Favtutor file deleted using remove() function")
print("Current files in directory -->",os.listdir())
print("-----------------------------------------------------")
else:
# If it fails, inform the user.
print("Error: %s file not found" % myfile)
