xfs can put the logfile on another physical disk (I don't think you can put it into a file, but only raw partitions). So, get yourself two HD's (a big one and a small one), install your system on the big one (using xfs) and put the log-partitions on the small one. So the big one will spin down while xfs can write anything into its log on the small one. I don't know if this is what you want, but surely possible.
It won't save any power or noise in my case, it would just let another disk run all the time instead of the one I'm already using.. But it sounds like a good thing for bigger servers with many disks.
Well, if it is a pure server, ..
It isn't, it's my home computer, with a geforce:-), soundblaster live, and so on. What I'm looking for is a low-power, low-noise let-the-computer-always-run solution for at home. The only reasons for having the computer always run is 1. masquerading of a private network, 2. casual use of an httpd server. (Maybe I sould write a mini-howto for this purpose when I find good solutions?..)
