Resolution
- This issue is already fixed in 12.1 release.
- As a workaround please implement a house keeping script which will compress logs older than 10 days via cron
Problem Cause
- NSHELP-19033
- A software bug which results in the /var/mps/db_pgsql/data/pg_log/postgresql logs not being zipped and can cause the disk/parition to fill up.
