[Group.of.nepali.translators] [Bug 1618188] Re: systemd journal should be persistent by default: /var/log/journal should be created

2018-03-26 Thread Steve Langasek 
This is not an SRU-appropriate change and should not have been accepted
into artful.  Please revert this ASAP for artful.  Marking 'wontfix' for
xenial.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * System logs are lost across reboots because they are not stored
  persistently.

  [Test Case]

   * Fresh installations, or upgrades to this version of systemd, should create 
/var/log/journal and trigger automatic persistent logs.
   * Users may choose to remove said directory, or disable persistent logging 
in /etc/systemd/journald.conf

  [Regression Potential]

   * Persistent logging by default will cause logs to be flushed from
  /run to /var/log, meaning there will be less RAM used (/run is tmpfs
  backed), but increased disk usage (in /var/log). The journald daemon
  has limits set for logs, meaning they will be rotated and discarded
  and should not cause out of disk-space errors.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  After upgrading 14.04 -> 16.04, key services are now running on
  systemd and using the systemd journal for logging. In 14.04, key
  system logs like /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog were
  persistent, but after the upgrade to 16.04 there has a been a
  regression of sorts: Logs sent to systemd's journald are now being
  thrown away during reboots.

  This behavior is controlled by the `Storage=` option in
  `/etc/systemd/journald.conf`. The default setting is `Storage=auto`
  which will persist logs in `/var/log/journal/`, *only if the directory
  already exists*. But the directory was not created as part of the
  14.04 -> 16.04 upgrade, so logging was being lost for a while before I
  realized what was happening.

  This issue could be solved by either creating /var/log/journal or
  changing the default Storage behavior to `Storage=persistent`, which
  would create the directory if need be.

  ## Related reference

   * `systemd` currently compounds the issue by having ["journal --disk-usage" 
report memory usage as disk 
usage](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/4059), giving the impression 
that the disk is being used for logging when it isn't.
   * [User wonders where to find logs from previous boots, unaware that the 
logs were thrown 
away](http://askubuntu.com/questions/765315/how-to-find-previous-boot-log-after-ubuntu-16-04-restarts)

  ## Recommended fix

  Restoring persistent logging as the default is recommended.
