I think only later config parameter works and first one is ignored. For example if you log file doesn't get bigger than 5M in a day, then it won't be rotated even though you have specified DAILY option. So it's ORring between DAILY and SIZE. Please correct me if I am wrong. What will happen if I mention both daily/weekly/monthly and size parameters both? I think only later config parameter works and first one is ignored.

Sounds like it may not be a Tomcat issue and it may be an issue with large file support in your Linux distribution. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb/2gb-filesize-limit.html Interesting that you are getting crashes at 2GB.

Any specific reason for using logrotate and not log4J? Just curious to know Pros/Cons of both configurations if you have tried both. I found log4J DailyRollingFileAppender and RollingFileAppender pretty useful. One drawback being of DailyRollingFileAppender being no out of the box option to specify max. days to keep log files (Log4J ver. 1.2). I guess this can be handled using cron and find commands.
