## Is it working?

After installing and rebooting, use systemctl to check if Log2Ram started successfully:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
systemctl status log2ram
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This will show a color-coded status (green active/red failed) as well as the last few log lines. To show the full log (scrolled to the end), run:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
journalctl -u log2ram -e
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|

The log is also written to `/var/log/log2ram.log`.

## Troubleshooting

### Existing content in `/var/log` too large for RAM
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One thing that stops Log2Ram from starting is if `/var/log` is to large before starting Log2Ram the first time. This can happen if logs had been collected for a long time before installing Log2Ram. Find the largest directories in `/var/log` (this commands only shows the 3 largest):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
sudo du -hs /var/log/* | sort -h | tail -n 3
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the `/var/log/journal` is very large, then there are a lot of system logs. Deletion of old "archived" logs can be fixed by adjusting a setting. Edit the `/etc/systemd/journald.conf` file and add the following option:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
SystemMaxUse=20M
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This should be set to a value smaller than the size of the RAM volume, for example half. Then apply the new setting:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
sudo restart systemd-journal
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This should shrink the size of "archived" logs to be below the limit. Reboot and check that Log2Ram succeds:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
sudo reboot
|
|
||||||
…
|
|
||||||
systemctl status log2ram
|
|
||||||
```
