retitle 764557 "Persistent journal gets corrupted" thanks Alright, the journal is not truly growing without bounds. Further below, I found:
> Permanent journal is using 819.7M (max allowed 3.8G, trying to leave > 4.0G > free of 6.6G available → current limit 2.6G). So this is probably not the issue. I then tried running journalctl --verify and got several errors: $ journalctl --verify &> journalctl-verify.log # grep -v PASS journalctl-verify.log Invalid tail monotonic timestamp File corruption detected at /var/log/journal/b865c77cc176b5ef3b69390a0000000d/user-1000@a26c2d4e0a8e4ed49fb0bad469dee6c6-0000000000000611-0004ffc56e15ab8c.journal:000000 (of 8388608 bytes, 0%).

Not sure who's the culprit here. On the plus side, after running the journalctl commands from my first mail now all work. Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.
