Somebody on a web forum, posted a very good question, that I can't answer, but would like to. In this post on systemd-commits: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-commits/2012-July/002320.html there's this statement:
systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
Does anybody here understand what's misleading?

It just means that some unit (somename.service) was started and then the log was rotated (i.e. the log was saved with the time-date appended to it's name) and a new log started.

That's not the question. What the original asker and I both want to know is, why is the message misleading?

So, is systemctl saying the message is misleading or is the OP saying it is misleading? If the OP, then the answer is the OP does not understand systemctl, log rotation ...etc. If systemctl - then just browse the source code of systemd: http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/22/Everything/source/SRPMS/s/syste...

Neither. If you'll follow the url (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-commits/2012-July/002320.html) you'll see that the quotation is from a commit by Lennart Poettering. The OP (and I) just want to know what's misleading about it.

I have no idea why the committer thought it misleading.
