@dino99: I think the typical user won't realize, that the logs are being thrown away, until they need a log from the previous boot. By then it is too late to correct the configuration.

Why not set `Storage=persistent` in `/etc/systemd/journald.conf` instead of creating the folder. That would ensure that the folder is created with the right ownership and permissions.
