No disk space although enough room

I’ve had a chance to look at the logrotate errors. Part of the issue is a change to logrotate making 2 of the commands we were using mutually exclusive (reference make `renamecopy` and `copytruncate` override each other by kdudka · Pull Request #386 · logrotate/logrotate · GitHub & logrotate/ChangeLog.md at master · logrotate/logrotate · GitHub)

Firstly have you seen any other problems with log size (I’m expecting you will)

I have modified the logrotate files. If you want to give them a try, I can walk you through the process.

Key issue is that 'copytruncate' and 'renamecopy' are now mutually exclusive. 2. There is also an issue caused by removing the `emonhub` user/group 3. There seems to be an issue with the `renamecopy` line in the `00_olddir` config file. deleting the line and restoring it solved the issue. This should be tested with `sudo /usr/sbin/logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf` - pay attention to errors in first few lines as config files are read.
