Thanks. When you do that, please also mention that journald doesn't handle full partitions gracefully either (it goes into an infinite loop spamming log messages about how it can't save log messages) and that when Storage=auto and /var/log/journal doesn't exist, journals are saved to /run and never rotated! This means that in a default installation of unstable, if the system is left up 24x7 and there's a user cron job that runs every five minutes, /run will be full in less than two weeks. (Relatedly, user cron jobs produce an awful lot of log chatter: Jan 3 08:45:01 kenaz CRON[27272]: (<redacted>) CMD (<redacted>) Jan 3 08:45:02 kenaz systemd[1]: Created slice User Slice of <redacted>.
