Hello,
My journal gets corrupted on pretty much a daily basis. I typically
notice this because things like "systemctl -n 3" take ages to run. When
I then run "journalctl --verify", I get output like this:

This corruption is probably caused by me hard-rebooting the computer
recently to debug some other issues.
However, I think it's quite unfortunate that journald isn't able to
recover from this on its own.
Is there a reason why the journal doesn't have a "clean" flag like
regular file systems? This would allow an automatic --verify run when
the journal has not been closed properly, and would save people like me
the trouble of monitoring this manually.
Best,
-Nikolaus
