I use log4j 2.8.1
I have this log4j2.xml file
<Configuration status="warn" name="MyAppx" packages="">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile append="true" name="MyFile" fileName="/tmp/app.log" filePattern="/var/log/myLogs/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} s7tcp %-5level %-30notEmpty{[%marker]} - %msg%xEx - %class{36} %L %M%n"/>
<Policies>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="2 MB"/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="20"/>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="INFO" includeLocation="true">
<AppenderRef ref="MyFile" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
I do logging to /tmp/app.log and if the file gets bigger than 2MB it should be moved to /var/log/myLogs/app-%d{MM-dd-yyyy}-%i.log
but I get this error Messages:

only the First file -1.log is actually created, all other files are created when I stop the java process!
If the path in filePattern is also on /tmp/... it works just fine!
Any Idea what the problem could be?
