Cleanup
Check current disk usage:
sudo journalctl --disk-usageUse rotate function:
sudo journalctl --rotateOr
Remove all logs and keep the last 2 days:
sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2daysOr
Remove all logs and only keep the last 100MB:
sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100MHow to read logs:
Follow specific log for a service:
sudo journalctl -fu SERVICEShow extended log info and print the last lines of a service:
sudo journalctl -xeu SERVICE--vacuum-time=2daysthis implies i keep an operating system installed for that long
something something nix?
sudo journalctl --disk-usage
panda@Panda:~$ sudo journalctl --disk-usage No journal files were found. Archived and active journals take up 0B in the file system.hmmmmmm…
I mean yeah -fu stands for “follow unit” but its also a nice coincidence when it comes to debugging that particular service.
user@u9310x-Slack:~$ sudo journalctl --disk-usage Password: sudo: journalctl: command not foundseems like someone doesn’t like systemd :)
I don’t have any feelings towards particular init systems.
Recently had the jellyfin log directory take up 200GB, checked the forums and saw someone with the same problem but 1TB instead.

Windows isn’t great by any means but I do like the way they have the Event Viewer layout sorted to my tastes.
You just need a bigger drive. Don’t delete anything
Oh lord watch me hoard
Try 60GB of system logs after 15 minutes of use. My old laptop’s wifi card worked just fine, but spammed the error log with some corrected error. Adding pci=noaer to grub config fixed it.
I had an issue on my PC (assuming faulty graphics driver or bug after waking from sleep) that caused my syslog file to reach 500GiB. Yes, 500GiB.
Nearly 700gb in logs
wtf 🤯
*cough*80 GiB*cough*
11.6 mega bites
Ah, yes, the standard burger size.
