Yes, see the fstab(5) man page, there is an example of an MFS filesystem using the -s option.

syslog(8) doesn't do this. Log files are rotated by newsyslog(8).

You want to create your own, custom logging, in a fashion not intended by the Project's utilities. You're welcome to do so, as long as you are aware that what you want to accomplish is unsupported. You'll need to do this on your own.

Should you decide to customize the rc(8) script, please note that this will be replaced with the Project's standard rc() script after any upgrade.
