            Bug ID: 90074
           Summary: journalctl does not show log past an invalid entry
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: zebul666 at hotmail.com
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

>From what I understand, journalctl is supposed to show all the log in
/var/log/journal/<machine-uuid>/system*.journal ?

But I have a file that is reported corrupted by journalctl --verify with an
invalid entry (most likely the last one) caused by a hard-reboot without fsck

# journalctl --verify
[...]
8a8ef0: invalid entry item (13/22 offset: 000000                                
8a8ef0: invalid object contents: Bad message                                    
File corruption detected at
/var/log/journal/<mymachine-uuid>/system at 000xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.journal~:8a8ef0
(of 16777216 bytes, 54%).
FAIL:
/var/log/journal/<mymachine-uuid>/system at 000xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx.journal~
(Bad message)
[...]


and journalctl does not show log past/after that invalid entry i.e. it shows
log from the first 2 system@*.journal~ files, but no log from the other files,
where the last shown log file is from the one corrupted.

I have to access each file individualy with journalctl --file=<name-of-file>

using systemd 219 on ubuntu 15.04 beta 2

p.s: where is the tool to repair corrupted log ?
