journalctl --list-boots stuck and using 100% CPU.
Hi!
My problem is simply described:
I wanted to list all the boots in the journal, so I ran journalctl --list-boots. The application does not finish and is permanently at 100 % cpu usage.
I have limited the disk usage to 2GB and journalctl --disk-usage reports
Archived and active journals take up 2.1G on disk.
I ran journalctl --verify, and came up with a few corrupt log files. I deleted those, but the problem still persists.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on?
Thanks, I vacuumed it down to a size of 1 GB and now the boots are displayed correctly, almost instantly.
Nice. If you could formulate an answer from it worked, please post.
