won't work, and other methods become more difficult also.
I think this case is relatively obscure, but as with RHEL6, it would be nice
to have a journal file viewer for Windows.
Why not read this files on another Fedora host ( or some other
distro that uses systemd )?
What's the reason for this hard dependency on Windows?
I think the use case here is dual-boot system where the Fedora installation
is somehow broken but the Windows boot works.
If you have physical access to the machine you should be able to access
those journal files from within dracut shell.
If not that something we need to look at and solve I would think.
