Jim,
Firewall-1 logging is configurable. If you plan on doing detailed
logging of all incoming and outgoing connections, your log file (just the log
file not the errors file) may reach anywhere between 5-10 MB (again depending
upon your internet usage and logging style). This usually happens if you are
tracking http proxy connections. However, if you don'r care whether or not
someone accesses playboy.com etc, you can skip (or at compact logging) the http
outbound loging which will cut down tremendously on your log size.
So, the size of your filesystem/drive depends upon your logging
structure.
For heavy logging, I use a separate filesys as well as drive (1 GB). But
we, as a financial firm, have more to record than most other orgs. I also keep
past logs online.
Hope this gives you some guidance.
luck
