Comment to task #5754 in mysql: mysql error log

[Flyspray - The bug killer!]

Project: PLD 2.x (Ac)
  
  Package: mysql
  Summary: mysql error log
  Commented by: Elan Ruusamäe (glen)
  Comment: there's one problem. as "If you execute FLUSH LOGS, the
error log is renamed with the suffix -old and mysqld creates a new
empty log file."

which means every mysqld instance using same error log will rotate the
same file to "-old", which means all logs are lost if instances > 1.

also the fact that rotation happens after FLUSH LOGS command could
trigger log file rotation, and logrotate program is not able to move
that to logs 'archive' dir is bad.
