==== The first topic on this page will briefly cover the '''systemd journal''' ==== | |||
The systemd journal has taken the place of log files though it has an option for the standard type log files to be created & maintained in the usual fashion, which is the way that Manjaro does it. Unfortunately there are still plenty of bugs in systemd & using the method presented below, for limiting the size of the /var/log/journal/* works for some but not for others, it also works more effectively for some & only somewhat effectively for others, meaning it will limit the size of the journal, but not to the limit that you set? As systemd's development continues this problem should eventually change. | The systemd journal has taken the place of log files though it has an option for the standard type log files to be created & maintained in the usual fashion, which is the way that Manjaro does it.
