[systemd-devel] Settings in /etc/systemd/journald.conf dont work
Hello Ok, I understand, that the first step towards solution is to change my expectations. The settings are never absolute and direct, but they are a guarantee, that I can see the desired definitely, not less, but maybe a little bit more. That is ok. I have changed the settings to Storage=persistent SplitMode=none SystemMaxUse=10M SystemMaxFileSize=5M MaxRetentionSec=1week ...but at first, there is no effect. "journalctl --disk-usage" says after reboot "Journals take up 40.0M on disk" furthermore. The content in /var/log/journal is 4 Files, 3 times 8 MB, one time 16 MB, all together 40 MB. That is much more as the setted 5 or 10MB. It is really difficult to understand, what journalctl in this case done, under which restrictions and which logic is following. Unfortunately there is no really good translation of the man-page given. And for Non-English-Non-Professional-Users it seems to be not possible, to do things with understand it, before try the doing. Now I have to observe the next Days and see, what happens. I will report my result in a few days. Thank you for your replay and best regards Thomas ps It is also really difficult to me, to translate my question and this talk ... ;-) ... Sorry, I try to do my best. ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

Anyway now I'm thinking, the problem is not a real problem and so it's solved now. Thank you for this lesson.

[systemd-devel] Settings in /etc/systemd/journald.conf dont work
Hello I am an old retired boy from German and a short-time visitor here in this list. And I apologize, because I put my user-question here. But unfortunately nowhere in the network i can found a solution or people who have sufficient expertise. My Problem relates to "journalctl". I want that Entries in my journal only the last 7 days are kept, regardless of Journals Filesize. Therefor I have entered in the /etc/systemd/journald.conf the following parameters: Storage = auto MaxRetentionSec = 1week But nothing happens. The entries (older 7 days) will not be removed in runtime or after reboot. Even the entries in the "User-Actions-Journal" are not removed . Only when I reboot the Journals daemon the Systemjournal is completely emptied, what is also wrong. However, the Userjournal will remain unchanged and continue to contain month old data. What I would have to stop or do that I get these same 7 Days for both journals. I know that there are also "size-settings" are possible, but I'd like to set these 7-day cycle. I use "Debian Jessie" as a Debootstrap-Setup with some selected LXDE components for a custom Desktop_GUI. apt show systemd Package: systemd Version: 215-17+deb8u3 Can anyone help me with a advice? Many thanks for your help. Thomas ps Also sorry…. it's a 40-years-ago-school-english... ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
