FAT 32 has a limit just under 64000 entries (and it is desirable to keep
under 32000) - bear in mind that any notionally long name will use extra
entries to hold it, one for each 13 characters. Do you *really* want
to retain all these logs on line? I would back them off in the interest
of efficient usage and just keep recent ones that you *might* want to
refer to easily
