[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ 2.0 broker crashes

[Scott Dupoy]

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for your reply.

Making the assumption that we can't switch to a unix/linux distribution, is
it possible to change the size at which the *.rdq file rolls?  If this is
possible then at least we can (further) reduce the risk of a failure.

Cheers,
Scott
