=Journal Log= | |||
The journal keeps logs of system activity. This can be important for troubleshooting, but sometimes the log size can grow rather large. | |||
To report the current size: | |||
journalctl --disk-usage | |||
To remove all but the most recent entries by size or time: | |||
journalctl --vacuum-size=50M | |||
journalctl --vacuum-time=2weeks | |||
To set a maximum size for the journal you can uncomment and edit the following line in {{ic|/etc/systemd/journald.conf}}: | |||
SystemMaxUse=50M | |||
