Usually people has /var/log in the root partition. There are good reasons for this (so that boot messages and the like can be written as soon as root is mounted), but the root partition tends to fill up, and old log files take a lot of space, especially on busy systems. However, they do not need to reside in the root partition. Thus, the configuration file should also provide a way to specify the place where the old logs should go.
