I have a RPI 3B+ weather station at our cottage. I've enabled RO Overlay because power can go on/off depending on storms.
I was seeing heavy memory consumption to the point I felt it was what was impacting performance. I disabled it and as expected memory dropped down.
I recently re-enabled RO and have the following memory stats after 2 days
I have a USB key where I store my Python scripts, logs and DB's on an EXT4 RW mount.
Questions I have:

Code:

- I assume some of the memory is taken up with normal RPI OS logging. Is there ant guidance on which processes to redirect output to so it doesn't consume as much overlay memory? Also not to lose information.
- I am thinking I need to create a job that monitors available free memory and initiate a reboot when a threshold is reached. Thoughts?
