Description of problem: It seems the process 'systemd-journal' is eating a lot of memory on my system. (Running lots of test, thus producing lots of logs') The max size I've noticed so far before restarting journal service was about 260MB - service restart fixes the issue for me for a while. Looking at my: /etc/systemd/journald.conf it's missing 'ImportKernel=no' from .rpmnew. Is that a reason for unlimited memory growth ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-194-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Possibly fixed upstream already as a conclusion of this thread: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-October/006883.html http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=89de694724f376a6852e879fe987e7e531327654 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=a2ab7ee6122a5006cafc45d7b81f726656fb65cc
Yes, looks like there is a lot of file (already invisible in system) /run/log/journal/xxxx/system.journal in the process map.
