- `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`)
# ZL2R Zram Log 2 Ram enables a zram drive when ZL2R=true ZL2R=false is mem only tmpfs
ZL2R=true
# COMP_ALG this is any compression algorithm listed in /proc/crypto
# lz4 is fastest with lightest load but deflate (zlib) and Zstandard (zstd) give far better compression ratios
# lzo is very close to lz4 and may with some binaries have better optimisation
# COMP_ALG=lz4 for speed or Zstd for compression, lzo or zlib if optimisation or availabilty is a problem
COMP_ALG=lz4
# LOG_DISK_SIZE is the uncompressed disk size. Note zram uses about 0.1% of the size of the disk when not in use
# LOG_DISK_SIZE is expected compression ratio of alg chosen multiplied by log SIZE
# lzo/lz4=2.1:1 compression ratio zlib=2.7:1 zstandard=2.9:1
# Really a guestimate of a bit bigger than compression ratio whilst minimising 0.1% mem usage of disk size
LOG_DISK_SIZE=60M
# PRUNE_LEVEL if log size is below this level then old logs will be moved to hdd.log enter as %
# Moving the old logs will restart log rotation as old logs will no longer exist in /var/log/oldlog
# In normal operation hitting 50% or above can take many hourly cycles so a higher prune level is a balance
# 55-60% is probably a good level as too high will restart logrotation and create less history
PRUNE_LEVEL=60

#### refresh time:
By default Log2Zram checks available log space every hour. It them makes a comparison of the percentage set via Prune_Level and only writes out old logs to disk when triggered and then removes the collected old logs from zram space.
