fix: Limit journald logs to 100M #133

Closed mmstick closed 2 years ago

mmstick commented 2 years ago

Thoughts on lowering the default of 10% disk capacity for logs? Value can still be overridden in /etc/systemd/journald.conf.

100M seems a little low. My work machine is at 4.1G (about 0.4% of the disk size), and a relatively fresh lab machine is already at 145M (about 0.05% of its 256GB disk).

This could impact support as well as private troubleshooting. Maybe give it at least 1GB?

Overrides can also be done if you symlink a similarly-named file in /etc/systemd/ to /dev/null, from what I read in the manual.
