The journald entries have filled a Linux machine's /var volume. Which of the following is the best command for a systems administrator to use to free up the disk space occupied by these entries?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

systemctl stop systemd-journald systemctl start systemd-journald is the best approach among the given options. Stopping and starting the systemd-journald service can help in managing the disk space used by journal logs without manually deleting log files or using more aggressive cleanup methods. This method ensures that log management is handled gracefully by the system's own services.

I see your point, but I still think removing the journal files with option C) is a safer method to free up disk space.

pkill -HUP sends a signal to systemd-journald to reread its configuration file and reopen log files. It's efficient and effective.

I disagree, I believe option C) rm -rf /var/log/journal is the right choice.
