Just a follow-up - as Jan wrote, there's no file size shrinking
implemented in the journal. Moreover, the file does not cap exactly at
the configured limit, for example a journal may be treated as full if
the journal size is 9M, the configured limit is 10M, and the next
update requests = 1M of space, the journal can't satisfy such result,
requests flush and then attempts to vacate old entries.
You can configure a slightly larger journal size to mitigate this, as
I wrote in the previous email.
Best,

Hello Anand,
Knot will discard as many old records as needed to store the incoming entry,
exactly how many depends on size of the incoming record and state of the
journal. Also, when a zone is flushed to a text file, all journal entries
are marked 'clean' and can later be discarded without flushing, but they
will stay in the journal, as long as there is enough space for incoming
records. One note about the journal file size: once the journal file reaches
its maximum size, it will stay at that size indefinitely, although there
might be free space in the journal.
I hope this helps,
Regards,
Jan

Hi Knot developers,
I have another question about journals. I've noticed that for one zone,
the journal size is 9M (with my configured limit at 10M).
Now, I see this each time in the logs:
2014-12-15T07:56:02 notice: [103.in-addr.arpa] journal is full, flushing
2014-12-15T08:13:09 notice: [103.in-addr.arpa] journal is full, flushing
2014-12-15T08:16:35 notice: [103.in-addr.arpa] journal is full, flushing
2014-12-15T08:20:27 notice: [103.in-addr.arpa] journal is full, flushing
It looks like once a journal is close to the maximum size, then it just
remains at that size, with the result that each time an IXFR comes in,
and overflows the journal, Knot wants to flush the changes to disk
immediately. Does Knot discard old records from the journal at this point?
Anand
