Note that logbufs=2 is the default and consumes 64K of memory for
logbuffers for the fs. logbufs=8 will consume 256K, so it depends
on your definition of lots of memory.
Way back I used to be able to fail a box with logbufs=8 and 256MB ram.
Might have to adjust that then :) sorry bout that.

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
