[04:32] <Soni> so uh, basic question... how do you make sure the logs don't grow over, say, 300MB? .-.
[04:43] <jayjo> logrotate works well for that, if everything is just working normal
[04:48] <sarnold> creating the /var/log/ filesystem at 300MB will enforce that rather stronger than periodic logrotate, but perhaps introduce the problem you're trying to solve..
[04:50] <Soni> hmm
[04:50] <Soni> good point, thanks
[04:51] <Soni> actually no wait *some* programs (in particular a certain webserver) fail to run if they can't write logs
[04:52] <Soni> and 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)
