[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

'Twas brillig, and Warpme at 27/10/13 17:52 did gyre and gimble:
> Is there possibility to configure systemd journal to behave like cyclic
> buffer with given buffer size?
> Currently I see only rotation mechanism. Issue with rotation is that
> just after rotation, journal is almost empty and user don't have access
> to old log data.

If you don't see any old log data after rotation then something is
broken. journalctl should read all journals, even rotated ones.
