View source for Systemd journal log file setting

The new openSUSE 13.2 journald (from systemd) is sometimes quickly using up disk space.

There are setting you can tweak in /etc/systemd/journald.conf

<pre>[Journal]
Compress=yes
SystemMaxUse=500M
SystemKeepFree=2G
</pre>

After that, restart the services '''a few times''' for the changes to take effect:

 systemctl restart systemd-journald.service 
 systemctl restart systemd-journal-flush.service 

You should see a reduction in the size of the /var/log/ directory almost immediately.
