Doesn't "rm -Rf /var/log/journal" mostly take of it?
Well, I suppose so, but it seems a crude way of doing it.
ISTR it being the recommended approach.
How crude...
It would be more reasonable to remove entries based on criteria. Even better, impede them being logged.
Then look at your postfix and nntp configs, that's where the logging should really be restricted.
No, no. I want the log in syslog, where I know where to filter appropriately and rotate when needed. What I do not want them is in systemd journal wasting space and resources.
Ah okay - well, the systemd journal is the gateway to the syslog daemon. I think we're back to removing /var/log/journal - there may be something in /etc/systemd/journal.conf too, but I remove /var/log/journal. Just another item on the checklist.
Maybe it's possible to setup or re-compile postfix and friends without systemd support and log directly to a real syslogd.
Perhaps, but hardly worth it - and I think it's better to keep the syslog() interface. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
