I have got a little further in diagnosing this "memory leak" of systemd-journal. It appears to worsen when I have a process that emits data to stdout. I presume that systemd-journal is attempting to put this somewhere but failing, and consequently is buffering it in its own process. Where is this logging supposed to go, and can I redirect it to somewhere benign such as /dev/null?

Please excuse if this is trivial, but I am a systemd newbie.
I am running systemd on Angstrom/Beaglebone. After a couple of days I notice that the process systemd-journald had grown and was ultimately killed by the kernel's OOM handler. I investigated the systemd-journald.conf file which stated:

# See system-journald.conf(5) for details

I presume that this is a reference to a man page, but I have downloaded systemd-43 and cannot find this documentation. I would appreciate any links to this documentation and/or any suggestions as to where the problem nay lie.

Best,

Dave.
