$ journalctl -u systemd-journald | grep max
is interesting to see, right now, and if this starts happening again.
Specifically it would be nice to know the current sizes and max sizes,
and to check if they are being violated or not.

Title:
/var/log/journal consumed all available disk space
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running 18.04, systemd 237-3ubuntu10, and all of my available disk
space on /var (4.3G) just got eaten up by systemd-journald.
/etc/systemd/journald.conf has all the default values (everything
commented out). Processes were starting to crash, and I only
recovered by running "sudo journalctl --vacuum-files=1" which brought
it back down to 25M.
My understanding is that the defaults are supposed to prevent this
from happening. I'm not familiar enough with systemd to further debug
why this might have happened.
