04/15/2025, 3:25 PMI just wanted to know where my k3s nodes are storing the log files for my running pods that run my containers….. and so I lf I don’t set these flags… do they use the default that’s listed ??? Because I just looked in /var/log/pods and I can see my containers, but 1 of my containers log file is 39M large….. so is there no cap or setting to this?

04/15/2025, 3:29 PMLike if I don’t explicitly set the flag on my install, can the container log files sizes just be unlimited… or if I don’t set the flag it’ll use the default value… but then why is my container log file 39M
