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.
