Strange. I don't have a 5.5.30 build handy but I tried this on my trunk build of mariadb using the sql command and it works: ebergen@santa:(~/store/mysql/standalone_mariadb) ls -li mysql/slow.log 52430026 -rw-rw----. 1 ebergen ebergen 244 May 23 11:56 mysql/slow.log ebergen@santa:(~/store/mysql/standalone_mariadb) mv mysql/slow.log{,.old} ebergen@santa:(~/store/mysql/standalone_mariadb) ls -li mysql/slow.log ls: cannot access mysql/slow.log: No such file or directory ebergen@santa:(~/store/mysql/standalone_mariadb) ./con Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.

Does running the command by hand work? On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 1:11 AM, Rafał Radecki <radecki.rafal@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All.
I use: MariaDB-server-5.5.30-1.x86_64 on CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
"flush logs" or "flush slow logs" does not recreate the file. In https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/flush.html there is "With no log_type option, FLUSH LOGS closes and reopens all log files." and "With a log_type option, only the specified log type is flushed." but neither command recreates the log file.
I rotate slowlog through crontab: mv /var/log/mysqld-slow.log /var/log/mysqld-slow.log.old ; mysqladmin flush-logs
Is it a bug or should it be so for some reason?
Best regards, Rafal.
