[arm-allstar] /var/log tmpfs problems

[David McGough]

If you've got another Linux server available with a normal hard drive 
array and a high availability network, using NFS is a viable option---I 
use NFS across RPi3 WiFi for all my software development. It's stable and 
reliable.

Another possibility is to use a USB SATA adapter and a 2.5" SSD drive or 
two...You can even make a mini WiFi fileserver using a RPi3 and a pair of 
USB attached SSD's setup in RAID 1 !!!  I've got a dozen of these adapters 
and they work great: http://www.ebay.com/itm/282089389635  ....Just make 
sure to use an adequate 5v power supply for the RPi3.
