Digging through the archives...

        o logbufs=4 or logbufs=8, this increases (from 2) the number of
          in memory log buffers. This means you can have more active
          transactions at once, and can still perform metadata changes
          while the log is being synced to disk. The flip side of this
          is that the amount of metadata changes which may be lost on
          crash is greater.
