Turning logging off entirely is currently not supported, but it probably makes sense to make this possible. I have now added this to the TODO list. You can put limits on the log size however, for example via SystemMaxUse=64M or SystemKeepFree=500M or suchlike. Note that there is currently a minimum file size of 64K enforced. (And if something stores an entry larger than this the disk space consumption might be beyond 64K temporarily) > 2) What is the best resource for systemd documentation? For example, > I still have not found a man page for systemd-journald.conf Well, there's a huge body of documentation, for example, all the man pages here: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/ Or the blog stories which are linked from the systemd home page (look for systemd for Administrators): http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd However, I haven't found time to document the journal yet. Will do before F17 is released.
