Bug description:
[impact]
attempting to vacuum journals using -D with the 'root' (in journald
terms) journal directory fails to perform any vacuuming. This can
lead to journal files continually increasing in size and filling up
the filesystem.
[test case]
see original description below.
[regession potential]
this removes a check in the code when iterating journal directories
during vacuuming, so any regression would likely occur during
vacuuming, possibly causing failure to vacuum.
[scope]
this is fixed upstream by commit
c488660e6edb3c1375ab62514a8df035c3d712bf which is included starting in
version 244, so this is already included in Focal. This is needed for
Eoan, Bionic, and Xenial.
[original description]
systemd has an issue in regard to vacuuming remote journals:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2376 - this affects 18.04 as
this version still has this problem.
Steps to reproduce on "Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS":
root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/
root@1:~# journalctl -D /var/log/journal/remote --vacuum-size=100M
root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/
8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/
Would it be possible to backport this trivial patch
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13924 into 18.04?
