what does "journalctl --disk-usage" provide.
# journalctl --disk-usage Archived and active journals take up 2.0M in the file system.
Even just the newest file here is >20X yours. :-(
# journalctl --disk-usage Journals take up 1.7G on disk.
have you set a limit for journal files?
No. The journal author or packager should have provided something resembling a sane default, or a pointer thereto, as no examples have been provided in journald.conf. Its man page describes defaults that are percents of filesystem sizes, not very helpful. Test installations that are up only an hour or three here and there provide no clues to any need for a machine up for weeks or months at a time for anything other than a default config. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
