14 That's not surprising, the messages are cached before writing to disk, so
15 the most recent messages will be lost. You could try mounting the
16 filesystem containing /var with sync, which will at least avoid the disk
17 writes being cached. It's possible that syslog-ng also caches write, in
18 which case you'll also need to look for an option to prevent that.
