Yesterday my system was slow and I checked iotop: systemd-journal was using 99% IO (but not CPU). I haven't restarted the machine, but kill systemd-journal didn't help, the process would respawn -- as expected -- and resume the heavy IO).
I disabled storage ("Storage=none") and restarted the service. It helped a lot, but I still get the ocasional slow down -- though a lot less severe. iotop output (idle prio is because I did a ionice -c3 on it): 23616 idle root 3.14 M/s 14.86 K/s 0.00 % 99.62 % systemd-journald $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 15G 11G 4,1G 72% / System: up-to-date Fedora 17, x86 $ sudo rpm -qa systemd* systemd-sysv-44-21.fc17.i686 systemd-44-21.fc17.i686 systemd-analyze-44-21.fc17.i686 What else can I do to debug what is going on next time it happens?
