What I really ment was more : When things grow abnormally fast in /var, look first in stm !
the logs hardly grow till something make them go bezeurk...
Here you see after I passed on the box and checked throughly:

Code:

civ:/var/stm/logs/sys $ date
Fri Feb 24 18:47:36 MET 2012
civ:/var/stm/logs/sys $ ps -ef|grep  iagm|grep -v grep
    root  9732     1  0 11:55:07 ?         0:07 /usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/sys/diagmond
civ:/var/stm/logs/sys $ ll
total 178
-rw-r--r--   1 root       root         64208 Feb 24 11:56 activity_log
-rw-rw-r--   1 root       sys            878 May  5  2010 config.stm
-rw-r--r--   1 root       root          4648 Feb 24 11:55 diaglogd_activity_log
-rw-r--r--   1 root       root          5608 Feb 24 11:55 memlogd_activity_log
-rw-r--r--   1 root       sys           5872 Feb 24 11:55 scan_hw_log

Dead calm since...
Then there is /var/tombstones, with all sort of HW dumps when things go wrong...or systrem crashes, beware the system will increment each time so once your system is settled ( no bugs - HW issues) cleanup all of them to start as "new"

SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)                           systemd-volatile-root.service                          SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root - Make the root file system volatile

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-volatile-root.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-volatile-root

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-volatile-root.service is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the
       original (non-volatile) /usr inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from /usr is available as usual, but all configuration data in
       /etc, all state data in /var and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown,
       enabling fully stateless systems.

       This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying "systemd.volatile=yes" on the kernel command
       line. This service runs only in the initial RAM disk ("initrd"), before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this
       service is not used if "systemd.volatile=state" is used, as in that mode the root directory is non-volatile.
