Does anyone know if we can control the size of the various Grid Infrastructure 
logs?  Under 11gR2 it appears there are 11 logs that are rotated automatically 
by Oracle with 2 different max sizes:

% find $CRS_HOME/log/`hostname -s`/ -name '*.l01' -type f -ls | awk '{print $7" 
"$11}'
10579665 
/grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/crsd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.l01
10581706 
/grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/agent/crsd/orarootagent_root/orarootagent_root.l01

10542909 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/crsd/crsd.l01
52737221 /grid/app/11.2.0/oracle/log/hostname/gpnpd/gpnpd.l01

CSSD and GPNPD files are rotated at 50 MB while the rest at 10 MB.  This isn't 
a huge deal to most, but I've been given a server to support that has 9.7 GB of 
space for /grid.  This doesn't leave me a lot to play with and I doubt I can 
get them to add more space.  I've already got a cleanup job for those files 
Oracle and adrci don't handle, but I was hoping that for some of the above I 
could shrink the max size a bit, so that even once they all have their 11 
copies the impact would be less.

MOS doc 557204.1 refers to a max size but doesn't specify how it's set or 
maintained.

It's interesting that Oracle says you'll need 4.5 GB for the install of GI but 
I don't believe there's any mention in the doc of the space needed ongoing.  
Once you apply a few patches (.patch_storage is 2.5 GB now) and run long enough 
for the logs above to have their 10 copy rotation, 10 GB is a little tight.
