Have you considered tmpfs? tmpfs can live in both ram and disk (swap).
Read linux/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt.

I already read the article on IBM developernetworks about it in the meanwhile. Seems it can do what I want when tmpfs' size is limited to say 500 MB.


Don't know of any, except maybe putting the log on a ramdisk? And of
course 'noatime'.

Thanks for the hint!
