Updated with upstream bug #; this seems to be an on-going concern, and depends on some not-yet-available interfaces between kernel and systemd.
Marking Triaged/Medium. There are some bypasses discussed in the upstream bug, but not all possible effects have already been discussed (for example, setting 'storage=volatile' completely loses the journald logs at shutdown). ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #867 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/867 ** Also affects: systemd via https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/867 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788048 Title: systemd journald failed unmounting var Status in systemd: Unknown Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When the system is shut down or restarted the systemd-journal does not disassemble the disks correctly. On this thread https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/378678/why- do-i-get-the-error-failed-unmounting-var-during-shutdown I checked what editing /etc/systemd/journald.conf to change the Storage = line to Storage = volatile the problem is solved, but some of the logs on the shutdown are lost.
