I'm not sure I get you right, but 8gb is crazy.. how about use somehow
logrotate/cron to delete the log file?
I run slim on an eee and have /var/log on a 5mb tmpfs, so I ran into
this problem quickly. I run logrotate every hour (/etc/cron.hourly/) and
limit log files to 100k. For example, /etc/logrotate.d/slim:
/var/log/slim.log {
compress
rotate 4
size 100k
notifempty
missingok
copytruncate
noolddir
}
That's extreme of course, and I might as well just send it to /dev/null
instead, but it works.
