Description Stefan Seyfried 2013-04-30 06:35:19 UTC 
the journald states in the logs:
"Allowing runtime journal files to grow to 394.8M."

but:
susi:~ # journalctl --disk-usage
Journals take up 501.9M on disk.

epic fail :-)

Oh - and I cleaned up about 200MB of corrupted journals already.

runtime is the size in /run, not in /var/log.

search in your logs for "Allowing system journal files to grow to ..."

working fine now, no excess disk usage anymore.
