making /var/log persistent
I'm trying to make /var/log persistent and I'm having trouble. I've made a bbappend to base_files which contains:
dirs755_append = " \
/var/log \"
volatiles = "tmp"
Looking in the resulting image, /var/log is indeed now a directory and not a symlink to volatile storage, however when the image is flashed to target and booted it is reverted back to being a symlink; I assume by some init script?
Can anyone shed any light on what more is required to get a persistent log directory.
Cheers,
Jack.

I sent out a series of patches regarding this area.
The patch title is "[OE-core] [PATCH 0/4] Support persistent /var/log".
