Hello,

Our embedded system is based on a Rocky Linux 8 distribution which embeds 
systemd-239.

At first bootup, a machine-id is created and remains persistent over the 
following reboots.
System upgrade sometimes creates a new machine-id, sometimes not.
By 'system upgrade', I mean either new linux kernel or upgraded Rocky packages 
or both.

Could you precise me what event(s) in the previous upgrade cases trigger a new 
machine-id ?

Note: The consequence of a new machine-id is that we accumulate new directories 
in /var/log/journal and that partition fills up quite quickly then.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Patrick
