Description
Submission type
- Request for enhancement (RFE)
systemd version the issue has been seen with
238
Used distribution
Fedora 28
I request for enhancement
For options:
- ExternalSizeMax
- ProcessSizeMax
By default this option has limit which prevent got untruncated backtrace.
Please see downstream report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1492419
So I want set ExternalSizeMax and ProcessSizeMax for unlimit values because I don't want to care how much size I really needed for it.
I suppose it value would be 0, which would means that no limits here.

Research direction
Start by locating how the ExternalSizeMax and ProcessSizeMax options are parsed and applied, then read the linked downstream report for the truncation context. Done means a documented configuration value, such as 0, reliably disables both limits and the behavior is covered by the relevant tests.
