That's the storage for the logs maintained by journald. You can manage these logs by editing /etc/systemd/journald.conf and setting one or more of SystemMaxUse/SystemKeepFree. See the journald.conf manpage for details. journald collects logs from both system service and user sessions; you may want to see if there is anything causing excessive log traffic. You can run "journalctl -f" (as root) to follow the logs as they are generated and see if there are repeated messages or errors that you could resolve. -- regards, kushal
