You might want to use a BufferedStream (for reading & writing)
when the log file is going to be to large to fit into memory.
The idea is to always write to another file, and rename it afterwards.
using ( FileStream readFs ...)
using ( BufferedStream readBuf( readFS))
using ( FileStream writeFs ...)
using ( BufferedStream writeBuf( writeFS))
{
// write first contents through writeBuf
...
// now just copy the bytes
int b = readBuf.ReadByte();
while ( b != -1)
{
writeBuf.WriteByte( b);
b = readBuf.ReadByte();
}
}
// delete old file
// rename new file
