So if you have an entry: #Storage=auto
That means it looks for /var/log/journal. If it exists already, then the journal will be stored persistently in that location. If it doesn't exist, it will be stored in /run/log/journal/ which is volatile.
Not on Leap 422. *If* /var/log/journal exists, those journal files are wiped with each reboot, and Leap 42.1 behaved the same exact way for me, although I don't rememember right now if /var/log/journal existed on my past Leap 42.1 box. I wouldn't be surprised if after installing Leap 42.1, and the /var/log/journal directory existed, the behaviour would be exactly the same as Leap 422.
If what you say is true, it is a bug you must report, because it is contrary to the documentation. /var/log/journal/* are the persistent logs and are not deleted on boot. /run/log/journal/* are the volatile logs, deleted on each boot. /run/ is a tmpfs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
