Bug#928915: systemd: Full log unavailable with -e or -x

[ಚಿರಾಗ್ ನಟರಾಜ್]

Package: systemd
Version: 242-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Different invocations of journalctl seem to display different amounts of the log.

$ sudo journalctl -xe
-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-05-12 20:37:51 EDT, end at Sun 2019-05-12 21:16:32 EDT. --
ಮೇ 12 20:44:29 chiraag env[8395]: {"name":"log","hostname":"chiraag","pid":203,"level":30,"msg":"GET https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/

$ sudo journalctl -x
-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-05-12 20:37:51 EDT, end at Sun 2019-05-12 21:16:32 EDT. --
ಮೇ 12 20:44:29 chiraag env[8395]: {"name":"log","hostname":"chiraag","pid":203,"level":30,"msg":"GET https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/

$ sudo journalctl -e
-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-05-12 20:37:51 EDT, end at Sun 2019-05-12 21:16:32 EDT. --
ಮೇ 12 20:44:29 chiraag env[8395]: {"name":"log","hostname":"chiraag","pid":203,"level":30,"msg":"GET https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/

$ sudo journalctl
-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-05-12 20:37:51 EDT, end at Sun 2019-05-12 21:17:17 EDT. --
ಮೇ 12 20:37:51 chiraag kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x9a, date = 2018-07-16

I included the first line only, but it should get the point across. I scrolled back up to the top with the invocations which include -e, so that's not the issue. Additionally, this seems to not be an issue if I use --unit to filter by regexp.

Sincerely,

Chiraag
