Thank you. I read this in the mailing list. On witch fakt depends the
size of 50MB? Is it rigth that one logfile can be max 32MB? Can I put
more than one log in the same partition? I want use more than one XFS
filesystem on the RAID5.

I use SuSE 7.1 with several updates and almost self compiled standard
kernel's from original source (www.kernel.org). The Question is: can I
use the last (2.4.17) or are there known problems with this version?

I ask this, because ReiserFS for example had sometimes lists with known
bugs on some kernels.
