XK0-005 · Question #854

The systemd logs are disappearing after a restart, even though the free disk space is adequate. Which of the following is the cause of this behavior?

The correct answer is A. The option Storage=volatile is set in the journald configuration. When Storage=volatile is enabled, journal files are kept only in volatile memory (/run/log/journal) and are cleared on reboot, causing logs to disappear despite having sufficient disk space.
