Funny, my testsystems come up with the log already rotated: 1 [1/3507]mh@emptybuster84:~ $ ls -lart /run/log/journal/*/ total 1,0M drwxr-sr-x 3 root systemd-journal 60 Feb 3 09:23 ../ drwxr-s---+ 2 root systemd-journal 80 Feb 3 09:23 ./ -rw-r-----+ 1 root systemd-journal 512K Feb 3 09:23 system\@df0e6fdb74704597bc1caa52e21c2e51-0000000000000001-00059da7a4f87ae4.journal -rw-r-----+ 1 root systemd-journal 512K Feb 3 09:26 system.journal and the X bit already set.
