Syslog on jffs ??

[anorneto]

Hello everyone,

I just found out that i have syslog.log and syslog.log-1 files on my /jffs partition. Is this normal? If not, how can I stop it? I have 0 knowledge of where is the syslog config files and how to change it.

Thanks for the help!

-1 is the older file, that got rotated when it got too long.

If you're only concerned about the durability of flash, creating directory will prevent the file from being updated:

rm -f syslog.log syslog.log-1
mkdir syslog.log syslog.log-1

Is syslog written to jffs as per default out-of-the-box? Isnt that kind of bad for life-expectancy?

No. This has been discussed elsewhere on these forums. The memory device used has a high write-lifetime unlike devices in the past.

Ok, thanks.
