Read man pages of systemd. This will avoid a lot of struggling. >From "man 8 systemd-journald": > By default the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since > /run/ is volatile log data is lost at reboot. To make the data > persistent it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where > systemd-journald will then store the data. systemd-journald automatically replace syslog-ng. And the new way of consulting logs is by using journalctl. Have fun. -- Alexandre Isoard
