Configuring system logging to a PCMCIA or external flash

System logs are a valuable diagnostic tool. You can send log messages to a PCMCIA card (or
external flash on the 8895 SF/CPU) for later retrieval.
Define the minimum and maximum log file sizes to bound the file storage size on the PCMCIA
(or external flash) card. The system transfers the current log file to a remote host when the log
file size reaches the configured maximum size.
Although log file parameters are stored in the boot configuration file, you can change them at
anytime without restarting the system. Changes made to these parameters take effect
immediately.
When you remove the PCMCIA (or external flash) card from the primary SF/CPU, a trap is
generated and system logging continues in DRAM only.
