Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-222-2.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "$ sudo journalctl _COMM=df" Actual results: $ sudo journalctl _COMM=df Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address -- Logs begin at Mon 2015-08-17 13:42:28 CEST, end at Fri 2015-08-21 09:59:25 CEST. -- Expected results: $ sudo journalctl _COMM=df -- No entries --
It doesn't have to be selection by filters. This message comes for any search that doesn't return any messages. E.g. mimmi$ env LANG=en_US.utf8 journalctl --dmesg --since=21:40 Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address -- Logs begin at Mon 2015-09-28 15:00:02 CEST, end at Wed 2015-10-28 21:42:46 CET. --
Works upstream. I just have to dig out the patch.
The upstream commit fixing this is https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/02ab86c732576a71179ce12e97d44c289833236d. However, there were several journal fixes around that time and it would be probably useful to commit some of them. The complete patch set I suggest is the following: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/45c047b227d96e98e7076c15ae774ff6390dc403 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/dade37d403f1b8c1d7bb2efbe2361f2a3e999613 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/8dc37a85255f68d62f7af66696cbf6a66401fb2a https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/bca9e39dfadaefc4b02c0dd378adc3d6221071de https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/02ab86c732576a71179ce12e97d44c289833236d https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/e80acc51aeaf2d74cb4d6cecbcb6e18f74c22c05
