# Measured 2026-08-08: 490.7M of journal spans 3.67d = ~134 MB/day, so the previous
# 500M cap held 3.7d. 5G holds ~37d, which makes MaxRetentionSec the binding limit
# rather than the cap. SystemKeepFree is the disk-fill guard: / is 91% full, so
# journald's 15%-of-filesystem default would evict everything on sight.
