[systemd-devel] Force rotating the journal?

[Apostolos Bartziokas]

Hello again.

i sent a signal with sudo kill -s SIGUSR2 pid# but the folder containing 
the journal didn't come down to 30M as i was expecting.

also:

sudo systemctl status systemd-journald.service
systemd-journald.service - Journal Service
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service; 
static)
       Active: active (running) since Wed, 2012-11-28 13:46:02 EET; 3min

               man:journald.conf(5)
     Main PID: 178 (systemd-journal)
       Status: "Processing requests..."
       CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-journald.service
           └─178 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald

Nov 28 13:46:02 mainland systemd-journal[178]: Allowing system journal 
files to grow to 30.0M.
Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is 
incomplete or unavailable.

Could it be that there are files left in the folder from undeleted 
previous rotations or something like that??

Also it seems that it erases files from a date back -when i observed 
this i had files from October but now those have gone- but it just 
doesn't seem to respect the size.

Thanks.
