how to truncate the logs without kill memcached

[Steven Grimm]

No, and that's nothing to do with memcached; it's true of any program 
where you're redirecting the output directly into a file.

Try piping output to some helper program that opens a new logfile every 
so often. There are several such available (cronolog springs to mind).

Running with -vv in any kind of production environment is unusual. What 
do you use all that information for, out of curiosity?
