> but god help you if the database gets corrupted What is this FUD nonsense you're attempting to spread here? systemd-journald assumes journals marked as ONLINE when opened for writing are potentially corrupted, and renames them rather than attempting to write to them, which produces messages like "journal corrupt, renaming". Those renamed journals still participate in journalctl queries, the data isn't lost. It's just a bit of wasted space in the interest of not risking actually corrupting an uncleanly shutdown journal by writing to it.
