This can be worked around easily by adding another logtail command at the end of the main script, and passing the "next volume name" back via a variable. The second issue (which I have no workaround for) is that the verbose output does not indicate when a file is split across multiple volumes. For example, a 1.2GB file split across three 500MB volumes will be mentioned in the index of the first volume only. The index for the other two vols will be blank. | |
