I'm using Slim as my login manager and it's logging absolutely everything. Things like gstreamer and alsa errors. This is making the log file huge, of the order of 8 gb when compressed. Can anyone think of a solution? I could always use the hack of putting the logfile in /tmp but I don't want to do that. /var is not on a separate partition and I'm not prepared to re-partition my system. Obviously with such large logfiles I'm getting performance issues.

How old is the log file. I use slim and it is getting rotated frequently enough that it is only ~200MB at the worst. Allan
