ceph logrotate

Hi,

Seems that some services still write on log files when logrotate tries to do its duty :

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: Compressing program wrote following message to stderr when compressing log /var/log/ceph/ceph-mgr.dc-prox-07.log.1:
gzip: stdin: file size changed while zipping

Do you know how to fix that ?

Logrotate has options to move files away first (or truncate) and then compressing them, even wait a day before doing it.
