It has multiple options to control disk usage from logs -- `man journald.conf` and search for "MaxUse" for the relevant options. > Just remembered: syslog daemons have rate-suppression mechanisms So does journald. Relevant options are RateLimitIntervalSec and RateLimitBurst, and individual services can set their own limits as well.
