[systemd-devel] systemd-journald RuntimeMaxUse limit is not respected

Hi,

Need help on systemd-journald.

I am using systemd with version = 1:211+git0+3a450ec5c6-r0.1
man journald.conf says "SystemMaxUse= and RuntimeMaxUse= control how much
disk space the journal may use up at most."

I have set RuntimeMaxUse=32M, with this value, I am expecting 7 archive
files and one active journal file.
But I am getting 8 archive files each of 4M and one active journal file
(4M). So in total it is taking 36M, instead of RuntimeMaxUse=32M.

Would anybody explain, why it is always consuming RuntimeMaxUse+4M size
instead of RuntimeMaxUse only or is it a bug in systemd-journald ?


Regards,
Mounesh
