That's why I decided to not remove existing journal files on upgrades for sid users. Some sid users might have decided to uninstall (r)syslog and use the journal exclusively. They would certainly be angry, if a postinst just deleted those logs. It depends on your usage of the journal. As for the size of the journal file: That is definitely in the "normal" range. See man 5 systemd-journald.conf. By default the persistent journal files will take up to 5% of the file system where /var/log/journal resides on. You can tweak all those settings in the corresponding conf file. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
