Title:
  systemd-journald[221]: Failed to create new system journal: No such
  file or directory

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Get this logged into syslog:

  systemd-journald[221]: /var/log/journal/efe9c2428e64e7a70a91277254016fe6/system.journal: Journal file has been deleted, rotating.
   kernel: [ 4647.247581] systemd-journald[221]: Failed to create new system journal: No such file or directory

  from freedesktop doc:
  By default, the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since /run/ is volatile, log data is lost at reboot. To make the data persistent, it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where systemd-journald will then store the data.

  so i've created /var/log/journal/ subdir, and the data is well stored (owner:root, group:systemd-journal). But i've seen that data continue to be added every cold boot after every cold boot. That gives mixed session data, which seems not the best way to get easy readable session's data log. So now i delete /var/log/journal/* before shutdown to get a clean new journal on next cold boot session.
  But then the error above is logged, even if the journal is created in fact. So it's like a false positive error.

  What systemd should do:
  - rotate itself each journal's session instead of concataning all the data inside /var/log/journal/ like other logs
