Hey Michael,

Will journald shrink the journal dynamically when disk space gets low
while it's running? It sounded like you needed to restart it for that.
On long-running servers the journal would be restarted very seldomly.
But then again, the same would probably be true for time based
truncation.

If journald DTRT while running, I'm fine with reverting the commit and
closing this bug as wontfix.

Guten Rutsch!

Martin
