My main desktop machine is obviously having a brain fart :( systemd-journald is allegedly obligated to write its journal files to /var/log/journal/ *if* that directory exists, right?
Well, on my three other gentoo ~amd64 machines, that's exactly what journald does. But not on my everyday work machine, oh no. I'd be daft to expect my one main everyday machine to obey the rules, right? On this machine (the one I'm using now) journald is writing its files to /run/log/journal/ instead of /var/log/journal/ # ls -l /var/log/journal/ total 4 drwxr-sr-x 2 root systemd-journal-remote 4096 Sep 22 14:39 remote #ls -l /var/log/journal/remote/ total 0 The *.conf files in /etc/systemd/ are the same on all machines: all of the config items are commented out, as sys-apps/systemd installed them. So, why is this particular machine not behaving like the others? Any debugging ideas would be most welcome. Thanks.
