<p class="MsoNormal">Jouranld creates a folder under /var/log/journal but I dont see anything getting stored here ever. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don't see journal being persistent across reboots.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Journal logs are kept only in /run/log/journal, and this is tmpfs in the system and gets erased on each reboot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried journalctl --flush to see if anything gets pushed to inside /var/log/journal but nothing is stored apart from the folder name. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">journalctl --rotate also has no impact.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to be doing everything as per the journalctl documentation but still it’s not working.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone else has seen this issue, any help?<o:p></o:p></p>
