For better performances. `RSYNC` is a recommended package.

## Customize
#### variables :
In the file `/etc/log2ram.conf`, there are three variables:

- `SIZE`: defines the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM (default is 40M).
- `USE_RSYNC`: Can be set to `true` if you prefer ´rsync´ rather than ´cp´. I use the command `cp -u` and `rsync -X`, I don't copy the all folder every time for optimization.
- `MAIL`: Disables the error system mail if there is not enough place on RAM (if set to `false`)
- `PATH_DISK`: activate log2ram for other path than default one. Paths should be separated with a `;`
- `ZL2R`: Enable zram compatibility (`false` by default). Check the comment on the config file. See https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/zram-swap-config to configure a zram space on your raspberry before enable this option.

If you have issue with apache2, you can try to add `apache2.service` next to other services on the `Before` parameter in `/etc/systemd/system/log2ram.service` it will solve the pb

The log for log2ram will be written at: `/var/log/log2ram.log`
The log for log2ram will be written at: `/var/log/log2ram.log` and available with `sudo journalctl -t log2ram`

Compressor for zram. Usefull for the `COMP_ALG` of ZRAM on the config file.
