log2ram1

Redirects log file writes into ram

Usage

log2ram {start | stop | write}

Overview

log2ram reduces wear on storage devices by redirecting any writes to
/var/log/ into RAM with periodic flushes to the storage drive. This is
useful when that storage device has a limited number of write cycles,
such as an SD card.

Options

start

Starts the log2ram service.

stop

Stops the log2ram service.

write

Syncs the log files from RAM to disk.
