logrotate failed every day: NVIDIA's jetson-logging
logrotate.service failed on every run (error: stat of /data/logging-volume/*.log failed: Permission denied), leaving a permanent entry in systemctl --failed.
Cause. /etc/logrotate.d/jetson-logging (package nvidia-jetson-services) has two stanzas for
/data/logging-volume/*.log. The first rotates as user logging (su logging logusers), but /data is
drwx------ root, so that user cannot reach the directory. The second is the package's copy for setups where
that user does not exist: same files, rotated as root. With both present, logrotate also reports a duplicate
entry. The directory is empty: nothing on this host writes there.
Fix (2026-10-14). The first stanza is removed; the root stanza and the Docker one stay. A comment at the top
of the file says so. Original kept at ~/infra/logrotate/jetson-logging.orig.
sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf # dry run: no error for jetson-logging
sudo systemctl start logrotate.service # "Finished Rotate log files."
The file is a dpkg conffile: an upgrade of nvidia-jetson-services that changes it asks whether to keep the
local version. Keep it (or re-apply: drop the su logging logusers stanza).
