Why not just disable this logging behaviour by default? No one knows about ~/.cache/upstart until it fills their disk and breaks their system (if they are savvy enough to find the problem log file).
The handful of power users that might occasionally need this logging behaviour can work out how to switch it on. In the mean time, not all of the users being impacted when it fills the disk will be able to work out what needs to be done about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mediascanner in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240848 Title: ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and mediascanner Status in Unity: Invalid Status in mediascanner package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of space respectively. I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed logrotate package because of a conflict.
