Since 218, drop in files in /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/ are supposed to be parsed and take precedence. This does not appear to be working. This was reported by user fukawi2 in this Arch Forums post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194833 I have been able to recreate fukawi2's problem. (Note that while fukawi2's drop in file lacked a [Journal] header, mine had one and it made no difference.) This is easy enough to work around, since and edited /etc/systemd/journald.conf works. Regards,
It works for me :) Please make sure that the file has a .conf extension, there's the section header, and no typos, and journald has been reloaded. If there's still a problem try: $ systemctl edit systemd-journald [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/bin/strace -D -o /tmp/log -e file /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald This should create /etc/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service.d/override.conf. Then restart the unit, and look at /tmp/log. There should be a statement like open("/etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/local.conf", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8
Eeep, EBKAC. Please close and accept my apologies.
