short example to reproduce the error
If you follow a directory via
journalctl --directory /some/directory/ -f
and then a journal file is rotated, for some reason this file doesn't get
followed properly.
Other, nonrotated files however are followed fine.
See the attached file for an example which should make the case more clear.
I reported something similar some weeks ago, but the example wasn't as good:
<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - journalctl -f has problems handling multiple journalfiles"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=89764">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89764</a>
89764 can be closed if this gets closed, I think.</pre>
