OH3.0.0M5 logging stopped after RPi4 memory card ran full

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

My RPi4 memory card ran full and obviously logging stopped.
After freeing up space, I cannot get it to start logging again. (rebooted several times).

sudo journalctl complained about premature end of /var/lib/openhab/etc/log4j2.xml
It was 0 bytes in size so I tried deleting it.

My log dir:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ll /var/log/openhab/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 openhab openhab 4096 Dec  8 23:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root    root    4096 Dec  9 00:09 ..

-rwxr-xr-x  1 openhab openhab    0 Dec  6 16:45 Readme.txt
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

I’m using the normal apt-get install with no ZRAM.

Any ideas how I can revive logging?

There is likely file corruption on the SD Card filesystem.

It would likely be best to reformat the car, reinstall, and restore from your backup.

Backup?? :wink:
No biggie, just a test system. Probably easiest to do as you suggest.
Thanks.

Ha, this worked:

sudo apt-get purge openhab
sudo apt-get install openhab

Lost everything, which wasn’t much, but logging is back. :slight_smile:
