h2. Tuning your system


The following log traces can be generated, and each have special characteristics that can influence the choose of the file system managing the file containing the log traces:
* global log traces flushes in \{{${petals.log.dir}/petals.log}}: few traces are written in a weighty file that can become very large,
* monitoring traces, including payload dumps of messages, are written as small files in a directory that will contain a lot of sub-directorie. So the file-system must be effective with small files and a bug number of sub-directories.
