The "append timestamp to file" test used /tmp... which is on /dev/sda2.
If you look at the output from "ll /var/log/cron*" you will see that messages continued to be sent to /var/log/cron from after August 10. The last line of the cron.1 file confirms that August 10 was when the last logrotate happened. Given that cron logs should be relatively consistent, one would expect the next cron log rotation to occur on August 17... but it did not. Also, because of the size (~14k) of the cron log, there is a guarantee that the logrotate did not fail (on the 17th) due to the filesystem being full... instead logrotate just never ran.
According to /var/log/logrotate.log, the last time that logrotate ran was:
1218492062 which translates to : August 11th, 2008 10:01:02 PM
As for the logs being generated, yeah, they are big, but its normal for my app with debug on max...
