The device also writes to the log file when you connect to USB. At the most, it writes 512KB. And unfortunately it doesn't do this when you shutdown the device.

The devmodeon trick *does* set EnableDebugServices=true, and playing with those log settings created an empty Log= entry, since I left everything unticked.

I usually never enable EnableDebugServices myself when I enable some stuff manually, so, make of that what you will .
EnableDebugServices enables other things such as the GUI options and telnet. Though I thought it was necessary for writing the files.

EDIT: Ooh, shiny. What ticking those checkboxes did is enable a *lot* of extra logging to the syslog, yummy .
Yep. The basic logs are noisy, but, you can easily get to the point where nothing useful is seen because the log file is to small (unlike my work servers were the log files are to big to be searched easily). Occasionally, I think of looking into how to send them to a syslog server, but, so far I have come to my senses in time and read a book instead.

For the record, I run my devices all the time with EnableDebugServices=true. Pretty much the only time it isn't on is when I do a factory reset or buy a new device. The latter probably happens far to much (and I took time while writing this reply to put the debug and feature settings sections into the config file of my new Libra H2O). I tend to have the SQL, leak and one of the WiFi or Sync related options on. But, change depending on what I'm looking at.
