A shell script that mounts /var/log in RAM to avoid constant writes to disk, extending SD card life on devices like the Raspberry Pi. It periodically syncs RAM contents back to disk via cron and on shutdown.

Use cases

  • reduce sd card wear on raspberry pi
  • move /var/log to ram on linux
  • stop logs being written to disk constantly
  • extend sd card lifespan on embedded linux
  • ramlog alternative for systemd

When to choose

  • you run Linux on SD-card-based devices like Raspberry Pi
  • you want a simple, systemd-compatible ramlog solution
  • you need daily or shutdown-time log syncing to disk

When to avoid

  • you cannot afford losing logs on power failure
  • your system generates more logs than available RAM
  • you need persistent real-time log storage on disk
