The commit message in 35d1c6821d0ad6557203336a4440cfd8e1480c7d does not discuss how much space will be consumed as a maximum, the ROTATEGENS and ROTATESIZE parameters are not set and the commit sadly does not describe what is the default of busybox. Looking at the source (and the help message busybox will print) the default size should be 200kb and the number of rotation is 1? Can somebody confirm that? holger
