Jan 23 13:37:55 eth-validator-primary systemd[1]: lighthouse-validator.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Expected Behaviour

It should run as previously with already loaded validator keys.

Steps to resolve

changing flags from:
--logfile ${_DIR}/log/validator.log
--logfile-max-number 5
--logfile-max-size 200

to:
--logfile-max-number 0
