Nope.
Journals rotate for other reason too (e.g. user request, overall space
requirements etc.) which might explain this wasted space?
I've made no requests to rotate and config is default, which afaics
means only rotate when the log hits max size of 128MB. Thus I wouldn't
expect to really see any holes in the log, especially in the middle.
I think the defaults are more complex than just "each journal file can
grow to 128M" no?
I mean there is SystemMaxUse= which defaults to 10% of the partition on
which journal files live (this is for all journal files, not just the
SystemMaxFileSize= which refers to just one file).
The default semantics are described in man journald.conf(5)
Again, could be a red herring, so just my first thought.
