*wicd service on RED...

someone versed on Arch and systemd can look that?

tia!

It could be that your systemd log files are huge; check the size of /var/log/journal

You can limit log size by modifying /etc/systemd/journald.conf
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...nal_size_limit

See man journald.conf

Dude...is this 'normal' ?

just 2 files on /var/log/journal ??

That's what mine looks like :D

They are folders -- the logs are in the one named with a long alphanumeric string.

How big is the folder on the left?

Mine is 123.7MiB ATM.

If yours is several GiB then that's why systemd is taking so long to boot -- delete the contents (if you have no outstanding issues on your system) and modify your /etc/systemd/journald.conf to limit the size as set out in my link above and described more fully in man journald.conf

Yep,it is the logs folders: 456.0 MiB ,12 files,0 subfolders

I'd like to erase that folder...

Just delete the contents.

Make sure your system is functioning properly first though...

sorry 4 botherin u...

can I erase all of that?

tia!

Yes I'm pretty sure it will all be re-created by systemd; just move them to a different location if you're worried -- you can always just move them back if there's a problem.
