[mosquitto-dev] Mosquitto persistence file didn't grows.

[Matteo Fracassetti <matteo.fracassetti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all.

 I have a mosquitto server deployed in a Docker container. I mounted a volume for logs and persistence file and everythings seems to work fine except for the persistence: The mosquitto.db files doesn't grows even if I stop any subscriptor which could empty queues.
 Write permissions on db path are fine, if I delete the file mosquitto.db, mosquitto creates it again when started. But nothing seems to be written into and when mosquitto logs to have written his in-memory database to the file, the mosquitto.db was touched and its "last time modified" updated accordingly.
 Any suggestion is strongly appreciated.
