It's quite common on the Raspberry Pi to make /var/log a tmpfs, in order to reduce the number of writes to the SD card that is the pi's main storage. That's quite acceptable for most logs but I'd like to make journald's logs persistent so I'll be able to investigate any crashes more easily.
It's not possible to tell journald to log somewhere other than /var/log/journal, so I need to bind mount another directory on a persistent filesystem over /var/log/journal The question is, where should that other directory be placed in the filesystem? /var/lib/journal sounds attractive except FHS 3.0 says "... should not be logging output ...". So where should persistent log files be kept, if /var/log is a tmpfs?
