truncate WAL files on exit
Fix for https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10300 https://github.com/lix-project/lix/commit/18a26202737a74f216d285d92bd4a84761788026 enabled persistent WAL files that will never get truncated. to fix this, journal_size_limit is set to 2^40, which results in the WAL files being truncated to 0 on exit, as well as limiting the WAL files to 2^40 bytes following a checkpoint. this aligns lix with the nix change: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10301 https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/c_fcntl_begin_atomic_write.html#sqlitefcntlpersistwal https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_size_limit https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/ed517a708284b6e00b6ae5f1e3f702bbfcbd32ed/src/wal.c#L2518 PR-Link: https://github.com/lix-project/lix/pull/9 Co-Authored-By: paparodeo <170618376+paparodeo@users.noreply.github.com> Change-Id: I90ec1a467c92c582ff8c07dd363a4cf789782214
