As I wrote to the maillist I did it. I reconfigured the journald.conf and deleted the journal logs then restarted the systemd-journald.service. Moreover I rebooted but the logs were preserved. So, I get what you write and the man page says but the actual daemon doesn't do it. It is a bug or just by design. Thank you systemd community, we really needed to replace the existed log system and really wanted to use it by force (Fedora mail list - Re: case study - journalctl - where is logger output). :-/ Balint
