I have a laptop pc with laptop mode tools enabled. When my hdd's spin down after near 20min they spin up to write to /var/log because of syslog-ng daemon.
Disabling-it would be more energy eficient to me but do you think that can be done without any consequence?
Or would it bring me problems?
is syslog-ng used for anything more than writing log's in /var/log?
Thanks

you can mount a /var/log/ partition in RAM. See tmpfs
in fstab
none /var/log tmpfs mode=1777 0 0
EDIT: corrected line

hum, a possible solution... In this laptop with raid0, avoiding using hdd's is the best way to save power
But without syslog daemon there would be no logging at all making this solution more efficient that a ramdisk no?
(it's /var/log in fstab no?)
