I would be completely fine with the workaround, if we only could limit it to
systems that really need it. But I don't know how we should distinguish old
from recent machines.
Setting SystemMaxFileSize unconditionally gives me some headaches.
Let's keep it as a last resort for now and first try some other things.

A systemd build including the btrfs patches is now available at:

can you give it a try?
