Hi,
i am running a bunch of partly very different systems with Debian
Bookworm. On this machines, i am using systemd 252 (252.12-1~deb12u1).
If i am configuring journald, i am facing the problem, that /var/log is
having a very different size on all my machines. From 100M to 8G or
something.
Documentation states that te default limit is capped at 4G. If you
really have 8G of journal files, you probably need to investigate why.
Journald states, that the configuration options SystemMaxUse and
SystemKeepFree cannot be a relative, percentual value. But they are
percentual values by default.
If i want to set a percentual value, journald only returns
"/etc/systemd/journald.conf:25: Failed to parse size value, ignoring: 20%"
So my question is - is there any option to set a relative value/a
percentage for that values?
Pragmatic answer - service that creates drop-in for journald.conf. It
can run every time and drop into /run or just once and drop into /etc.
Per default, it seems to be possible. So why
not a user defined percentage?
