[arm-allstar] Was location of log files in RPI-2-3-4_V1.6-18-Allstar image: now how to make logs persistent

[David McGough]

Don,

Most of the system logs are persistent, apache being an exception.  
systemd uses the journald software for logging. To see the combined 
log, try:

journalctl


For more info about the options and filtering results, etc:

man journalctl

/run/log/journal

BUT that introduces the problem that the system logs (and also Apache logs) are not persistent and if the system crashes, how do we preserve the logs for debugging?

It seems odd that the image would clear all old logs during restart.

Indeed the /var/log directory seems to be refreshed anew with each reboot.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
