   There are better options:   
   1. Separate /var partition, and   
   2. Setup logrotate:    
      
   Then logs will newer exceed /var partition size limit, and in the case   
   of flood logs rest of OS will be not affected.   
      
   Logrotate should automatically delete older logs. Even in the case of   
   flood logs.
