[Bug 1837914] Re: restart systemd-jounald fails

[Dan Streetman]

While I do see the bug and upstream fix, it would help the SRU process
to know how to easily reproduce this.  I tried the upstream instructions
of editing journald.conf to set Storage=auto as well as removing the
journald dir before restarting, but I can't reproduce this, at least not
using Bionic.  Do you see this only on Xenial?  What are your steps to
reproduce it?
