It does not make sense. By “update” @J-N-K refers to a _software_ update so it’s not often at all.

But you’re heading into a dangerously wrong direction this is just creating pseudo safety.  
[Your post is making us victim to the XY problem here](https://community.openhab.org/t/how-to-ask-a-good-question-help-us-help-you/58396#eight-a-nameeightadescribe-your-goal-12).  
SD wearout is caused by way more causes and more intensively than by just logging, so tweaking that to whatever will NOT protect you from SD crashes to happen to any reasonable extent. [More info here](https://community.openhab.org/t/corrupt-filesystems-every-2-3-month/13057/20).  
Drop that logging idea and go for a comprehensive solution.
