General Support / initializing /var/log
« on: April 01, 2013, 07:56:19 AM »
I see that /var/log is mounted as a tmpfs filesystem which causes its contents to be lost when the platform shuts down. I would like to move it to the non-volatile part of / to preserve logs. Any tips to point me in the right direction? In particular, where in the init process is /var/log set up on the tmpfs?
I consider myself fairly savvy with Linux; however, I haven't kept up with the evolution of Ubuntu and init (e.g. I went looking for /etc/inittab but it looks like it's been replaced by /etc/init/).
