Note that this risks will fill your ram&swap with logs, next time some
problem shows up causing infinitely repeated log entries. For this
reason I prefer to install busybox-syslogd: it's much smaller than
rsyslogd, keeps the logs in memory (like your tmpfs) but only keeps the
last few KBs of it, so there's no risk of overflowing.
