From 2668edef6c8f0ca8a0715240b8a1b19971c9e9d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dimitri John Ledkov Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 11:34:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] journal: in persistent mode create /var/log/journal, with all parents. systemd-journald races with systemd-tmpfiles-setup, and hence both are started at about the same time. On a bare-bones system (e.g. with empty /var, or even non-existent /var), systemd-tmpfiles will create /var/log. But it can happen too late, that is systemd-journald already attempted to mkdir /var/log/journal, ignoring the error. Thus failing to create /var/log/journal. One option, without modifiying the dependency graph is to create /var/log/journal directory with parents, when persistent storage has been requested.
