Well, not a noob, more like an idiot 😂 EDIT: Yes, on the same drive as my Home folder, etc. And yes, technically they’re snapshots, not backups.

    Well, Linux is also made for servers and super computers, and just imagine it refusing to keep logs because the file’s too large

        But I think it’s better for it to fail from expected behavior vs unexpected behavior. Your storage being full is very transparent and expected, but that a file reaches max size and starts cutting off is unexpected and would surprise a lot of people.

        I myself use supercomputers and the log files can get into a lot of GB, and I would hate it if it just cut off at some point.

          I mean that’s fair, but a supercomputer would be heavily customized so disabling log limits would be part of that if needed.
