<pre>`man journalctl` says:
Show all logs of the kernel device node /dev/sda:
journalctl /dev/sda
But:
# journalctl /dev/sda
-- Logs begin at Tue 2015-03-31 11:57:43 BST, end at Tue 2015-03-31
14:43:04 BST. --
#
On both Debian Jessie and Fedora 21, the log is simply empty. Is this supposed
to work yet? If not, it seems premature to give such an example in the man
page. If it is supposed to work, then something is wrong with the current
releases.</pre>
