Hi : openvswitch-2.13.0

Just one question：

How to set the ovsdb-server.log and ovsdb-server.log size, if eq the size,then reopen or rewite it. Don't increase great than the size. Could anyone can help me?

OVS doesn't handle log rotation. You could configure logrotate (https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate) daemon that available in most linux distributions. Configuration examples:

https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/rhel/etc_logrotate.d_openvswitch
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/debian/openvswitch-switch.logrotate

For your case, you will need to use 'size' or 'maxsize' options.
