[Bug 1785503] Re: systemd journal too large

[Balint Reczey]

There is no plan to diverge from upstream's default in Ubuntu.

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/journald.conf.html

While 4GB sounds big it is fairly efficient to add new entries and also
to search for older ones.

Title:
  systemd journal too large

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The directory size limits for systemd journal files are much too
  large.

  The rules woud work for a small[ish] partition dedicated to /var/log
  but when (as is usual) /var/log is on the main systm partition the
  size limits are too big.

  For example I have a system where the main disk is 1000Gb, /var/log is
  on this disk.  Thus the 10% limit for /var/log/journal would be 100Gb,
  the 4Gb absolute limit is therefore used but this is still far too big
  in my opinion.
