What is interesting is the changes we have in the group (from 12.3 to 13.1)
time journalctl --verify
real 2m20.742s user 2m6.646s sys 0m12.043s
You obviously have a much speedier system than mine (which doesn't really surprise me as my computer is 11 years old). Is this an SSD? Out of curiosity, how long does it take to just verify the active journal file?
It's already a old computer 3 years old i7-2nd generation with 16GB Ram and a 480GB Corsair SSD GT-Force3 (6gbs sata) 11 years old ? I would not like to pay the electricity bill :-)

active journal take the same time almost cause everything is active. On this laptop, due to some crash there one or two place where the journal is not in good shape like having tons of @@@@ in old syslog message, due to crash test (volunteer or not) On productive server, I will apply the same rule as with syslog. Export every 3 months all the log somewhere else. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot ~~~Don't take Life too serious.
