I take it you're not using a usb drive?
With a small directory as /jffs I would definitely recommend using one.
Mystery how your syslog got so large in the first place.

yes i am and have been for many years. I am using a 32GB drive i believe and it has a 2gb swap on it.

I've just checked my jffs partition and there's just a symlink to the file elsewhere.
Which leads me to believe your true syslog file (on your usb) is unwriteable.

So you think it’s not writing to the usb drive and it’s been just writing to jffs? If that’s the case I’m not sure how to fix that, or maybe do I need a new usb drive?

Give it time, someone will likely post some ssh commands to check all partitions for RW permissions. I have noted them down on my work pc but that's at work lol
I suppose you could just try copying a file to your usb drive.
