Title: Using RAM for logs
Post by: hushcoden on January 12, 2025, 06:54:25 PM
I have upgraded my device to 16GB of RAM, and considering my OPNsense uses around 1.5GB (give or take), I was thinking to enable both /var/log RAM disk & /tmp RAM disk options (so I can avoid some writes to the SSD) - apart from the fact I will lose the logs on reboot, any drawback I have to be aware of?

Tia.

When it fills your system will crash.
