           Summary: journalctl ignored disk space restrictions
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: yoshi314 at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

I am running gentoo ~amd64 with 2GB /var mounted off lvm volume.

Journalctl slowly eats up all free space on /var with logs going up to 1.6GB. I
have to delete them, and after some time free space runs out. According to
manual, this shouldn't happen even without any special configuration.

I've tried setting up /etc/systemd/journald.conf like so : 

[Journal]
Storage=auto
Compress=yes
SystemMaxUse=50M
RuntimeMaxUse=20M

And the situation repeated, with journal's log dir growing to 1.6GB over the
course of few weeks.

Systemd version used is always latest one from
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-apps/systemd
