This can lead to journal files continually increasing in size and filling up the filesystem. [test case] see original description below. [regession potential] this removes a check in the code when iterating journal directories during vacuuming, so any regression would likely occur during vacuuming, possibly causing failure to vacuum. [scope] this is fixed upstream by commit c488660e6edb3c1375ab62514a8df035c3d712bf which is included starting in version 244, so this is already included in Focal. This is needed for Eoan, Bionic, and Xenial. [original description] systemd has an issue in regard to vacuuming remote journals: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2376 - this affects 18.04 as this version still has this problem. Steps to reproduce on "Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS": root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/ 8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/ root@1:~# journalctl -D /var/log/journal/remote --vacuum-size=100M root@1:~# du -hs /var/log/journal/remote/ 8.6G /var/log/journal/remote/ Would it be possible to backport this trivial patch https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/13924 into 18.04?
