it's wild how easy it is to misconfigure (or not configure) logrotate properly and have a log file fill up the disk. Out of memory and/or out of disk are the two error cases that have led to the most pain in my career. I think most people who started with docker in the early days (long before there was a docker system prune) had this happen where old docker containers/images filled up the disk and wreaked havoc at an unsuspecting point.

I used to joke that if VMware engineers couldn't figure out the logrotate configuration for their own product for a few releases, what chance do I have?
