Title: journalctl space issue
Post by: d4 on July 11, 2021, 11:58:32 AM
dear all,
I own a LIME (quite satisfied);
I just upgraded to the latest image A20-OLinuXino-buster-base-20210513-112230.img ;
a suggestion: in  /etc/systemd/journald.conf you may want to set

SystemMaxUse=36M
RuntimeMaxUse=36M


because journals are stored in /run, that is allocated 50MB , and you do not want it to fill it with journal data (it happened to me, it is bad).

BTW if /run is full, you can reduce the logs using 
journalctl --vacuum-size 20M


a.

Thank you for the suggestion, I've submitted it to the team for consideration. Just out of curiosity what happens when the journal directory gets full? What happens with the board?
