Since by default it's set to "auto" yet that is commented out, it looks like the logs are going into /run/log/journal which is the fallback directory for "persistent" as /var/log/journal doesn't exist on my TW box. So the default setting for TW appears to be volatile, meaning the logs disappear if you reboot the system. Is this correct? Leap was the same way last I checked,
Yes, neither Leap421 nor 422 have a /var/log/journal in the default install.
so if a user is having their journal file baloon in size the must have at one point changed the defaults in journald.conf (I'm guessing).
I guess one could install Leap by upgrading from 13.x ?
Just by creating the empty directory /var/log/journal/, it is used and you get persistent journal. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
