[PVE-User] Directory /var/log/journal

[PVE-User] Directory /var/log/journal

[sebastian]

Hello @all,

whats up with this directory.

Is it possible to delete all the files in this directory while the 
server is running.

Would there be any problems if i delete the files now without rebooting 
the pve-Host?

I don't need log files this time - i need space on the partition.

Tnx

Sebastian

hi Sebastian
depends on type of  journal you have
check your storage config at
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
in case you have persistent journal you may clean it
e.g. clean old journals each month
/usr/bin/journalctl --vacuum-time=1months --rotate

Then you should change the configuration in /etc/systemd/journald.conf to not save your journal,
then reboot, then remove the directory.
