So configure journald correctly? It has multiple options to control disk usage from logs -- `man journald.conf` and search for "MaxUse" for the relevant options.

So does journald. Relevant options are RateLimitIntervalSec and RateLimitBurst, and individual services can set their own limits as well.

So configure logrotate correctly; you hardly need journald for that.
