A simple solution is to use Ramlog which creates a temporary disk in memory where the logfiles are stored and updated. At boot the log files are loaded in memory. At shutdown they are saved to SD Card. During runtime writes are done in memory and not to disk!

How to install:
sudo apt-get install rsync
sudo apt-get install lsof
wget http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/download ... .0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ramlog_2.0.0_all.deb

Now you need to modify some config files:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/ramlog

Add the next two lines in the init part of the config (the part that starts with: #BEGIN INIT INFO). Include the # character!!
# X-Start-Before: rsyslog
# X-Stop-After: rsyslog

Now edit /etc/init.d/rsyslog
sudo nano /etc/init.d/rsyslog

add ‘ramlog’ to the following two existing lines
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time ramlog
# Required-Stop: umountnfs $time ramlog

sudo insserv
sudo reboot

Reboot twice!!

After the second reboot check the ramlog log file for errors:

sudo cat /var/log/ramlog
You’ll probably see messages saying that you need to stop other daemons before being able to load/start ramlog. For example Samba or Cups. In that case find the appropriate file in /etc/init.d

For example Samba:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/samba

Add ‘ramlog’ to the following two existing lines
# Required-Start: $network $local_fs $remote_fs ramlog
# Required-Stop: $network $local_fs $remote_fs ramlog

For Cups:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/cups

add ‘ramlog’ to the following two existing lines:
# Required-Start: $syslog $remote_fs ramlog
# Required-Stop: $syslog $remote_fs ramlog

Those lines makes sure ramlog is started before the other daemon (like cups or samba) is started.

After changing those config files, do a sudo insserv again and reboot.
