Can I Remove Files In /var/log/journal And /var/cache/abrt-di/usr?


Answer :

journal logs

Yes you can delete everything inside of /var/log/journal/* but do not delete the directory itself. You can also query journalctl to find out how much disk space it's consuming:

$ journalctl --disk-usage Journals take up 3.8G on disk.

You can control the size of this directory using this parameter in your /etc/systemd/journald.conf:

SystemMaxUse=50M

You can force a log rotation:

$ sudo systemctl kill --kill-who=main --signal=SIGUSR2 systemd-journald.service

NOTE: You might need to restart the logging service to force a log rotation, if the above signaling method does not do it. You can restart the service like so:

$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald.service

abrt logs

These files too under /var/cache/abrt-di/* can be deleted as well. The size of the log files here is controlled under:

$ grep -i size /etc/abrt/abrt.conf  # Max size for crash storage [MiB] or 0 for unlimited MaxCrashReportsSize = 1000

You can control the max size of /var/cache/abrt-di by changing the following in file, /etc/abrt/plugins/CCpp.conf:

DebugInfoCacheMB = 2000

NOTE: If not defined DebugInfoCacheMB defaults to 4000 (4GB).

Yes, the files from /var/log/journal directory can be removed.

The most nice method I've found is:

journalctl --vacuum-size=500M

which deletes old log-files from /var/log/journal until total size of the directory becomes under specified threshold (500 megabytes in this example).


You can also clean based on time: journalctl --vacuum-time=10d

# du -sh /var/log/journal 113M    /var/log/journal # journalctl --vacuum-time=10d Deleted archived journal /var/log/journal/f77f9567bb70f8e7b5d9a0c95bef5c2a/system@36170b4530af4c89ac4d84ac68f8b727-0000000000000001-00057b09da23eb2c.journal (8.0M).

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
