Soniso uh, basic question... how do you make sure the logs don't grow over, say, 300MB? .-.04:32
jayjologrotate works well for that, if everything is just working normal04:43
sarnoldcreating the /var/log/ filesystem at 300MB will enforce that rather stronger than periodic logrotate, but perhaps introduce the problem you're trying to solve..04:48
Sonihmm04:50
Sonigood point, thanks04:50
Soniactually no wait *some* programs (in particular a certain webserver) fail to run if they can't write logs04:51
Soniand who knows what certbot would do (it definitely breaks all the perms on the log dir if you don't have the log dir setup just right)04:52
