Package: systemd Version: 215-17+deb8u4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
systemd-journald is deleting log messages when it shouldn't, it is not respecting SystemMaxUse and SystemKeepFree as configured in /etc/systemd/journald.conf * What led up to the situation? editing /etc/systemd/journald.conf Storage=persistent SystemMaxUse=750M SystemKeepFree=50M This is the current state of disk space: $ df -h Dateisystem Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf /dev/sda1 4,6G 3,9G 424M 91% / * What was the outcome of this action? $ systemctl status systemd-journald systemd-journal[1086]: Permanent journal is using 504.1M (max allowed 750.0M, trying to leave 50.0M free of 451.2M available → current limit 504.1M) * What outcome did you expect instead? I expect that systemd-journald would set the "current limit" in a way that leaves 50.0M of free space. The way the "current limit" is being calculated seems to be broken at the moment.
