Mark GajdosikHi,
we would like to redirect the syslog output to an SD card. By default, the logs are stored in a volatile memory and are lost after each reboot. We did this by linking /var/log to /media/card/logs.
The question is: Is this a good idea? Could this cause any issues with the operating system?
Thank you.
Mike FioreMark,
Linking /var/log/ to your media card shouldn’t cause any problems. You may want to take a look at the syslog settings if you’re also wanting to keep logs around longer, keep bigger log files, etc. CoreCDP uses Busybox Syslog, which ignores the default /etc/syslogd.conf file. It instead sources /etc/default/busybox-syslog for default parameters. Adjusting this file and restarting Syslog should change its behavior accordingly.
Cheers,
Mike
