I hadn't considered the container case at all, that containers running systemd-journald would have their own journals and retention policy. I wonder if the container default should have volatile journals? Or forward the journals to the host by default? But yes I can see how many containers each thinking they have a 4G cap could quickly become a problem. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
