Description of problem: F19 install running a simple command over-runs either a logging, or a shell command buffer running yum: yum provides \*bin/switch\* yields [ 4775.116244] systemd-journald[138]: Failed to create new system journal: Argument list too long Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@vm-2-25 ~]# rpm -qa systemd\* fedora-release systemd-202-3.fc19.i686 fedora-release-19-0.5.noarch systemd-python-202-3.fc19.i686 systemd-libs-202-3.fc19.i686 systemd-sysv-202-3.fc19.i686 [root@vm-2-25 ~]# How reproducible: I ran: yum provides \*bin/switch\* Steps to Reproduce: as above Actual results: [ 4775.116244] systemd-journald[138]: Failed to create new system journal: Argument list too long Expected results: no limits here ... a silent operation Additional info:
How disk space is currently free when this happens? on /var and on /run? How much disk space is used up by /var/log/journal/ and /run/log/journal when this happens? Do you have any manual settings in /etc/systemd/journald.conf?

I will do a fresh install to see if it recurs Command history after testing is: [root@vm-2-25 ~]# history 1 dmesg 2 yum upgrade 3 poweroff 4 w 5 df -h 6 yum provides \*bin/switch\* 7 yum clean all 8 yum provides \*bin/switch\* 9 history [root@vm-2-25 ~]# but that is all new, so the prior root history was lost as well when it died
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
