Subject: [PATCH] journal: in persistent mode create /var/log/journal, with all

 parents.

systemd-journald races with systemd-tmpfiles-setup, and hence both are

started at about the same time. On a bare-bones system (e.g. with

empty /var, or even non-existent /var), systemd-tmpfiles will create

/var/log. But it can happen too late, that is systemd-journald already

attempted to mkdir /var/log/journal, ignoring the error. Thus failing

to create /var/log/journal. One option, without modifiying the

dependency graph is to create /var/log/journal directory with parents,

when persistent storage has been requested.
