in summary, the log#.raw files hold the IO errors that were
previously logged in LOG####.PUB.SYS. You may want to implement
a similar housekeeping routine on them, as with the PUB.SYS files.
they can be configured to switch to a new file at a certain size.

the second file is an activity log of a MESA (diagnostics) daemon,
it should be purged from time to time.

If any of these files shows a rather rapid growth, then you might
want to get them analysed by your RC. If they grow too large they
can cause performance issues. Yours are already rather large

ITRC doc KBRC00010216 should answer your questions in more detail.
