Explanations: The script creates a `/var/log` mount point in RAM. So any writing of the log to the `/var/log` folder will not actually be written to disk (in this case to the sd card for a raspberry card) but directly to RAM. By default, every hour, the CRON will launch a synchronization of the RAM to the folder located on the physical disk. The script will also make this copy of RAM to disk in case of machine shutdown (but cannot do it in case of power failure). This way you avoid excessive writing on the SD card. |

By default Log2Ram writes to the HardDisk every day. If you think this is too much, you can move `/etc/cron.daily/log2ram` in antoiher cron folder, or remove it if you prefer writing logs only at stop/reboot. |
