Hi Dan, Yes, "/var/log/lighttpd/ssl-access.log" is on RAM with a 5MB partition for all of /var (note asterisk /var stuff is not in RAM).
Would a nightly removal of "/var/log/lighttpd/ssl-access.log" via CRON do the trick? Maybe back off the query interval to 30 or 40 seconds? I suspect there is a way to disable SSL logging in lighttpd, but I can't find it at the moment. I'd try to manage the log file via cron to < 1MB.
