[Gumstix-users] yocto dizzy. how to make /var/log permanent ?

[kris duff]

Hello,
I am using yocto dizzy with the gumstix layer.
I have customized the gumstix-console-image for my needs.
I have seen that the directory /var/log is a link to /var/volatile
How can I change that ?  I want to keep my logs
Thank you very much !
Kris

Hi Kris,

I personally just reconfigure my syslogger to point someplace else, but if
you want to actually create /var/log on permanent storage, there's
different things to do depending on if you use sysvinit or systemd
unfortunately. Yocto has a few little magicks regarding volatile
directories, but you might take a look at this if you use systemd:

For me, on sysvinit, I tweaked the initscripts package. Systemd the above
link might help you out.

Cheers,

Akram

Hi Akram,
Thank you a lot for your answer, I also think that the best way to do it is to place it somewhere else.
Thank you for the links!
