I used to chattr a number of logfiles that way: but when I moevd to the
kernel NFS server (this was back in the Linux 2.2 days), it turned out
that you couldn't even read such files over NFS. (I'd not expect to be
able to write to them.)

This may or may not still be the case: I haven't checked since 2.2.18
was new :)
