Reclaim disk space

[Rhodez-x]

I also have issues with disk space as I mentioned here (focused on the boot partition):

Low space on boot

I know that OP ask something specific, but my L5 also says low disc space, both on rootfs and boot. I have a very hard time to get enough space especially on boot. Is there a go-to solution for this? I might have experienced this in the beginning, but I cannot recall what I did to solve it. Edit: Well, somehow “sudo apt autoremove” just solved my issue for now so I managed to get the phone up to date. However, I’m still interested what others experience.

I just followed what @JCS wrote. My journalctl was taking up 2.3GB and I now limited to 512M, hence freeing up almost 2G.

@JCS

Apologies for the necro, but to clarify, the modification to /etc/systemd/journald.conf to limit the maximum size of the journald logs is as follows.

As root, modify the file to uncomment

#SystemMaxUse=

and set a max threshhold in MB (M), GB (G), etc.

SystemMaxUse=512M

Save the file and restart the journald service.

$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald.service
