"journalctl --verify" shows a bunch of problems so I thought I would just clear the journals up to the last month or so, but the expected "--vacuum-time=" option apparently doesn't work in openSuSe 13.2. Is there another preferred way to clear the corrupt part of the logs?
I think the journal, when it detects corruption, closes that particular file down and creates a new one but don't quote me on it.
Considering the current condition of my logs, that appears unfortunately not to be so.
I need to get rid of the corrupt logs as they are preventing many of the journalctl commands from working properly. "vacuum-time" seems to be one option to do so according to a brief google of the problem - just keep the newer, un-corrupt parts - but the option doesn't work in openSuSe 13.2.
Surely someone has done this before. How?
Thanks.
Ralph I don;t have anything else to offer. check this old bug report about corrupt journal files, it has some explanations and what/why from LP himself etc https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64116 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
