Into the file `/etc/log2ram.conf`, there are three variables : In the file `/etc/log2ram.conf`, there are three variables:
- The first variable define the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM. - `SIZE`: defines the size the log folder will reserve into the RAM.
- The second variable can be set to `true` if you prefer "rsync" than "cp". I use the command `cp -u` and `rsync -X`, I don't copy the all folder every time for optimization. - `USE_RSYNC`: Can be set to `true` if you prefer "rsync" rather than "cp".

The default is to write log into the HardDisk every hour. If you think this is too much, you can make the write every day by moving the cron file : `sudo mv /etc/cron.hourly/log2ram /etc/cron.daily/log2ram`. By default Log2Ram writes to the HardDisk every hour.
