Not breached here: $ journalctl -b -u systemd-journald.service -n 1 -- Logs begin at Sat 2018-09-29 05:03:28 CEST, end at Thu 2019-03-21 18:18:38 CET. -- Mar 20 13:32:03 debby2017 systemd-journald[699]: System journal (/var/log/journal/f8b692c8bb791fe2804f3d5a5905148b) is 1.8G, max 1.8G, 0B free.
$ journalctl --disk-usage Archived and active journals take up 1.8G in the file system. However, with systemd-journald persistence enabled, and classic logging daemons not removed (and still logging) on upgrades, you can end up with much data stored in /var/log, a lot more than there used to be in the past, which could cause problems, also (but not only) if combined with bug 1785321. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1790205 Title: systemd journals take up too much space, aren't vacuumed automatically Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After running Bionic for 3 months, I had 2.6 GB of journals. I would not expect from a normal desktop user that they should have to run commands like `sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=10d`. I would nominate this command as a sane default to have running at each reboot to ensure that logs do not exceed 500 MB: sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500M Supposedly, a server should by default retain more logs, so perhaps this should be implemented through a configuration package "systemd- configuration-desktop" as a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop meta package?
