Suggested Answer: B

systemctl stop systemd-journald systemctl start systemd-journald is the best approach among the given options.

Option C looks more promising. Removing the journal directory and restarting the service could potentially clear out all the journal entries and free up space.

I agree, Option A seems a bit unclear. Option B just stops and starts the journald service, which might not actually free up any space.

Well, let's take a look at the options. Option A seems to involve some commands I'm not familiar with, and I'm not sure if rotating and vacuuming the journal is the best approach.

Hmm, this journald question seems tricky. I'm not sure which command would be the best to free up disk space occupied by the journal entries.
