Upgrading buster => bullseye. Canonicalization of /var/log/journal.
Hi,
Here the upgrade was completed except for the problem indicated in the
following transcript.
This page appears relevant.
https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/systemd/systemd-journald.service.8.en.html
/var/log/journal exists here.
The command "systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal" gives
complaints similar to those in the transcript.
Likely the solution is obvious once the problem is understood. What is
unsafe about the path transition? How is systemd journaling meant to
work?
Thx, ... P.
