3 You'll have to get used to running and searching via journalctl instead of
4 processing the logs directly.
5 Journal is not persistent across reboots by default, but you can
6 reconfigure it to be. (just create /var/log/journal)
7 Last I recall you won't get fine-grained per-daemon space controls on the
8 logs, just a system-wide size and retention time for all journal entries.

10 Usually that's enough, but if all else fails you can fallback to another
11 logger.
