Hi, Being on multi-boot each of my four / partition is about 30G on a SSD. Seems it becomes short nowadays. My UbuntuBudgie 20.04 sent me some notifications about my system being almost full - only after 3 months of not so intensive usage. So I try to tidy up here and there. Beware snap do take …

As far as I can gather this is normal behaviour. Systemd manages its resources by itself [nealmcb] What triggers journald to free up space, to comply with SystemMaxUse, SystemKeepFree? disk-usage, systemd-journald asked by nealmcb on 03:02PM - 30 Oct 1…

Hmm On our downloads page our min requirements are Processor speed: 2.4Ghz Memory: 4GB of RAM Hard Disk space: 60GB The emphasis there is minimum. Think you are going to have to actively look after your undersized space issues Maybe something like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1395…

Since when so much space is needed for an Ubuntu ? Note : there are no personal files here, those sit on a much bigger HDD disk. Only system and hidden files in /home/$USER sit on those 30G on SSD. I really wonder here why journalctl did not clean itself and why it’s config file seems to actually …

This is somehow « annoying » : if there was enough free space before and journal files were created, and subsequently something else causes the file system to fill up, journald will stop using more space, but it will not be removing existing files to reduce the footprint again, either. …and expl…

If you really want to use Linux on such a small drive then you may want to consider a reinstall but use btrfs as the file system rather than ext4. Apparently btrfs (and zfs) can be configured to use transparent disk compression

No, no I will resize where I can. I still have my 16.04 partition that will die in some months - which holds 25G after many years of use, and many adventures, hence my surprise here with 20.04 holding as much only after some months of quiet « home » usage. I should learn myself to do virtualizatio…

I always specify the #SystemMaxFileSize=500M (or something not too big) as it usually is the same file that grows to a large extent. Specifying this is therefore enough to control the invading nature of that journal file. I see little interest in keeping big journal files. At some point I had files…

[image] mezcalbert: I don’t understand why it’s not limited by default to a decent value. Yes to that ↑ I may understand why one wants to keep full journal on server, but on a personal computer ? @fossfreedom shouldn’t UBudgie come with some sane defaults settings there ?

It’s the same package for all ubuntu flavours. We cannot change the package for ourselves. The best advice I would suggest is to ubuntu-bug systemd and ask just this question if desktops can have a separate config from servers
