 mv /var/log /var/oldlog
 mkdir /var/log
 mount /dev/sdf1 /var/log
 /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop
 mv /var/oldlog/* /var/log
 /etc/init.d/sysklogd start 

 The idea is that sysklogd will keep file handles on those old logs files
until you stop sysklogd, so once you change what /var/log/messages points
to, you have restart.
