It should remove them, yes. I wonder if all these sessions are still open, i. e. are there any leftover processes in them? Can you please give me the output of "loginctl", and then "loginctl <id>" for a few session IDs? (local ones look like "c2", remote ones should just be a number).
** Summary changed: - systemd session files fills up space + logind session files fill up /run space -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1426362 Title: logind session files fill up /run space Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Under Ubuntu 14.10 (server), systemd fills up /run/systemd/sessions directory with files. The files are 240-260 bytes, but there are many As per default install, /run is on tmpfs with 50 MB size. After a couple of days, /run/ runs out of free space, which can cause not so funny errors, like failed kernel update (kernel postinst tries to create files here, then fails) As I see, thesefiles are releated to ssh sesssions, and yes there are plenty SSH connection to this host. Shouldn't systemd remove these old session files? # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.10 Release: 14.10 # apt-cache policy systemd systemd: Installed: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Candidate: 208-8ubuntu8.2 Version table: *** 208-8ubuntu8.2 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 208-8ubuntu8 0 500 http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1426362/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
