Description
Hello, I'm trying to disable journaling as it takes too much disk space on my constrained system. I followed https://book.keybase.io/docs/files/details#journaled-writes and did echo 1 > /run/user/1000/keybase/kbfs/team/<teamsfolder>/.kbfs_disable_journal which seemed to succeed, although ls -a doesn't show a file there.
~/.local/share/keybase/kbfs_journal/v1 still creates huge directories. Am I missing something? I tried restarting kbfs with run_keybase -g but nothing changes. I'm using keybase version 5.8.1 on GNU/Arch Linux

Start with the journal-disable instructions linked in the issue and reproduce the command against the KBFS team path on GNU/Arch Linux. Check the ~/.local/share/keybase/kbfs_journal/v1 directory after restarting with run_keybase -g; done means determining whether journaling can be disabled in Keybase 5.8.1 and documenting the expected behavior or required change.
