On my desktop, my journal directory in /var/log/journal/ is 2GB in size. It has filled up my root partition and so now dracut won't let me update my kernel with the latest update. This page gives some idea of what to do: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Limit_the_size_of_.log_files_%26_th... Here it says: -------------------- How to set a maximum size limit for the journal There is usually no need to interfere with the maximum size of the journal, as it has been built to monitor the amount of free space on the partition where it exists & will shrink itself by deleting the oldest entries when a shortage of space demands it. Use your favourite text editor with root priviliges, (starting it with sudo will do the job). A simple edit of the /etc/systemd/journald.conf allows you to set the maximum size limit of the /var/log/journal . ---------------------- The thing is, if there is usually no need to interfere with the maximum size, then there must be something wrong if something like a kernel update can't find enough room to finish. The kernel update came through on a zypper up command. Can anyone help? Should I just go into the journald.conf and adjust the parameter to limit the file size? Or is there something else I need to do? -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
