Agree. I have a couple pi that I run most things in ramdisk on but I don't care about logs on those pi.
Here's a snippet from /etc/fstab for the box I use to shoot weathercam snaps and timelapse into /mnt/ramdisk, with cron jobs on other systems to pull the results back onto something the weewx system that runs off spinning disk. #---- run motion in ramdisk --- # obviously do 'mkdir -p /mnt/ramdisk' before this can work # tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs size=260M 0 0 # #---- put logs and tmp in ramdisk --- tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 Here's a similar one for a pi that used to run just nginx to serve up a webpage for my weewx system to grab via a custom extension. I later switched to just publishing to MQTT but left the pi fstab alone since it was great for uptime. tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/log/nginx tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /var/www/html tmpfs defaults,nosuid,mode=0755,nodev,noatime 0 0 Note - these are model-B that are particularly sensitive to power issues. I've never had to do this on any pi that uses the micro SD card from the original zero all the way up to a current pi4. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
