I can't reproduce the problem. I've checked several jessie systems (with a volatile journal), some of them on real hardware, some are VMs, all of them have root:systemd-journal owned journal files. This looks like something which is specific to your system. Can you reproduce the reproduce the problem with a clean installation of jessie? Do you have any custom configuration which might override the default configuration? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
