EXT3 has a Journal.  EXT2 does not.  Both are supported by FreeBSD.

Look into syslogd.  A syslog server could absorb the logs from all your
servers into one centralized place.

Or, the other note I made works.  Have a separate drive systems.  One for
boot etc. and a second for the spool.  This separates the logs from the
spool.
