           Summary: System_Daemons: Should "/var/run/journal is volatile"
                    be in the past tense?

Description of problem:
In the following sentence:
"In previous releases, journal data was stored in
<filename>/var/run/journal</filename>, which is volatile and cleared on
reboot."

Should "which is volatile..." be written in the past tense? Does it mean
"which
was volatile..."?
I'm sorry if I misunderstand the sentence.

--- Comment #1 from Pete Travis <me(a)petetravis.com&gt; ---
The tense change is a little confusing, but intentional. The clause "which is
volatile and cleared on reboot" applies to the object that precedes it,
"/var/run/journal". So, while the journal data is no longer stored in
/var/log/journal, it remains volatile. Actually, it is a symlink to /run, which
is a tmpfs volume by default; but, I think that was covered in previous release
notes.
