This is referencing the defaults configured automatically, they're first computed as a %age, confined to 4G. The wording of that sentence could probably be improved in the documentaiton. > I have about 1Gb logs per day.

As a consequence, you may want to increase the maximum size of the individual journal files so there are fewer of them: SystemMaxFileSize=10G Something like that...
