Created attachment 80092 [details] [review] Patch: print hint about KeepFree when it actually limits journal size Modified the patch to check if KeepFree actually imposes a limit on journal size and only then report on it and actually mention the setting. Peter Sztan adds for consideration: "The other question that comes to mind is whether to print this when rotating the journal and what severity it should be." Applied in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=fe1abefcd3. Thanks. |

Created attachment 80087 [details] Patch: journal: take KeepFree into account when reporting maximum size During startup journald reports "Allowing (runtime|system) journal files to grow to %s.", but only takes the *MaxUse metric into account. It is unclear to the user, that the *KeepFree setting might limit available space to a lower value. Attached patch replaces the KeepFree metric in that message with a call to available_space().
